POLICE are appealing for information following an armed raid on a Securicor van as staff were collecting takings at Toys R Us on the Central Retail Park in Ancoats, Manchester.
One of the drivers had an unknown substance sprayed under his helmet and a substantial quantity of cash was stolen in the attack just before 5pm on Tuesday. It is believed that three male offenders were involved and they left the scene in a white Vauxhall Cavalier in the direction of Great Ancoats Street. The Cavalier has since been found burnt out.
Any witnesses, or anyone who knows the whereabouts of the Cavalier prior to the robbery, should call police on 0161 856 3940 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
