THIEVES fled empty handed after a bungled ram-raid at a Farnworth cash and carry store.
The six masked men, who were driving two Land Rovers stolen earlier from the Carrington area, smashed through the gates of the Best Way store's car park in Stone Hill Road at 12.30am today.
But they fled empty handed after one of the cars they had reversed through the store's wall became stuck.
A security guard raised the alarm but the raiders had fled by the time police arrived.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Farnworth CID on 0161 872 5050 or the Crimestoppers free phone 0800 555111.
