RAIDERS escaped with clothing, worth up to £10,000, after smashing into a Bolton store last night.
The gang forced security shutters of the Rip Rap store on Victoria Square then smashed a display window shortly after 10pm.
They activated the store's security alarm but fled in a stolen vehicle before police arrived. The vehicle was later found abandoned.
Witnesses are asked to contact Bolton Central CID on 0161 872 5050 or the Crimestoppers freephone number 0800 555 111.
