DETECTIVES are hunting two gunmen who threatened a shop assistant in Deane last night.
The pair walked up to the late night kiosk at the Late Shop on Wigan Road at 11.45pm and waved the handgun at the assistant.
He locked the kiosk and ran off and nothing was stolen.
Both men were Asians, in their late teens or early 20s. One had black hair in a centre parting and was wearing a blue and white jacket.
The other was wearing a navy jacket and navy Nike baseball cap and white trousers. Two men answering the same descriptions were also seen about an hour later near Ellesmere Road, Daubhill. Anyone with information should call Bolton CID on 0161 872 5050.
