Detectives have released the image of a man they want to speak to after an armed robbery in Tameside on Friday

At around 10.15am on 28 October police were called to a report of a man
with a weapon causing a disturbance in a Spar store on Sunnyside Road in
the Droylsden area.
Armed officers attended but no suspect was traced. Thankfully, the
quick-thinking actions of store workers meant that no staff or customers
were injured during the incident.
Enquiries have since established that the man wearing a balaclava was
holding what is believed to be a knife before making threats and taking
around £3000 in cash.
Investigators from Ashton CID are now investigating and have released an
image of a man they are making efforts to identify as they think he holds
important information about this robbery.
Detective Sergeant Pete Goddard, from Ashton-under-Lyne CID, said: “One can
only try and begin to imagine the shock and fear that those inside the shop
will have felt when the offender cowardly came in with his face covered and
made threats while wielding what we think was a knife.
“I know the image we have at this stage isn’t ideal, but we’re working with
all available leads we can find and should a more distinctive image become
available then we’ll come back to ask for further information if we’re
still unable to identify the man in the CCTV image that we’ve released
today.
“Please do contact us if you have any indication as to who this person may
be by calling us on 0161 856 9262 quoting incident 975 of 28/10/2022 or
Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
