FOUR armed men forced their way into an office complex in Bolton, threatened a worker with a crowbar and stole a large quantity of computer equipment.

The robbers, wearing face masks, burst into ASC Software based in the Banker Building, Banker Street, at about 8.45pm last night.

They made an office worker sit on the floor and covered his head with a fleece before stealing the equipment, worth thousands of pounds. There is no description of the robbers or their getaway car. Police are appealing for anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area before and after the robbery to call 0161 856 5640.
