A FRESH appeal for information has been made following an armed robbery at a betting shop in Bolton.
Two masked men, armed with a gun and a knife, burst into Paul Dean Ltd in Bury Road, at 4.50pm - 10 minutes before closing time - on New Year's Eve.
They threatened the three female members of staff and ordered them to hand over the takings. The robbers escaped with a small quantity of cash.
The cashiers were left shaken by their ordeal but were not injured.
The shop opened as usual on New Year's day.
Detectives are appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time and saw anything suspicious to come forward.
Anyone with information should call Bolton CID on 0161 856 5740 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
