A GANG of robbers armed with baseball bats threatened staff at a retail superstore and stole a large quantity of electrical goods.
About five men wearing balaclavas burst into the Big W store in Manchester Road, Bolton, at 6.30pm.
They gained entry to the store which was closed at the time after cutting the security lock on the yard gate with bolt cutters.
The robbers loaded the stolen goods including televisions and hi fi stereos into a dark coloured van and the rest of the gang escaped in a dark Mondeo.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Bolton CID on 0161 872 5050.
