Police have released a CCTV picture of a person they want to speak to after a robber burst into a shop in Radcliffe with a meat cleaver in broad daylight.
Staff and customers were left 'traumatised' after the terrifying robbery at the shop on Blackburn Street at around 1.50pm on Sunday (November 12). Police said the man threatened a shop worker with the meat cleaver before leaving with the till.
Thankfully, no-one was hurt. Police investigating the incident have now released an image of a person who 'may be able to assist with enquiries'.
