THE manageress of a Bolton town centre shop told of her terror after thieves stole more than £200 in takings.
Two men entered the Health Rack in Deansgate at 3.30pm on Thursday and asked Paula Boardman for medicine for a cold.
Mrs Boardman, who was alone in the shop, went to help one man, while the other walked over to the till and stole £216 in takings from a money bag.
One thief was Asian with a shaven head and the other was a white man with fair hair. Both were in their early 20s.
Mrs Boardman said the robbery has left her sickened.
She said: "I was absolutely terrified by the whole ordeal. I think they saw me working alone in the shop and thought I was a vulnerable target. I hope the police catch them."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
