THREE armed robbers wearing balaclavas stole a large amount of clothing from a children's clothes shop after threatening the owner with a machete.
The incident happened at around 10pm on Monday when three men broke into the Shuffs Separates shop, in Leigh Road, Boothstown.
The men, all believed to be in their teens or early 20s, used an electric saw to cut through the shutters of the premises before smashing their way through the front window with a machete.
The gang was confronted by the owner of the shop, a 58- year- old woman, whom they threatened. They then made off with a substantial amount of children's clothing.
It is believed that the three men used black Jaguar X type which had been reported stolen on May 4 from Boothstown.
