A 19-YEAR-OLD cashier was threatened by a robber brandishing a hammer.
The victim was working at the BP Safeway service station in Wigan Road, Deane, when a man with a black scarf wrapped around his face came in shortly before 9.30pm on Thursday night.
He demanded the takings from the till before running away with an undisclosed sum of money in the direction of Oriel Street.
The robber was around 5ft 8ins, of slim build, and as well as the scarf wore black clothing and black gloves.
The cashier was not injured but was left shaken by his ordeal.
Police have launched an investigation and have urged anyone with information to call Bolton CID on 0161 856 5740.
