Masked men in raid on shop

POLICE at Warrington have issued CCTV images showing a raid on a convenience shop in the town.
The raid was at the Spar Shop in Howson Road, Orford, on Tuesday, March 6.
It was around 10pm, as staff were closing the shop for the night, that three masked men – one armed with a metal bar entered the store.
One of the men jumped over the counter knocking one of the female members of staff to the ground.
The staff were then forced into the security office and the offenders demanded the keys to the safe.
A member of the public, who was approaching the store at the time, disturbed the offenders and all three men fled the scene.
