POLICE are hunting three robbers who threatened workers at a mobile phone shop before making off with £5,000 of goods.
The trio entered the EE store on Bradshawgate in Leigh before theatening members of staff and ripping phones off the displays.
They then left the shop with the stolen items.
CCTV images of the three men wanted in connection with the robbery have been released.
The incident happened around 11.40am on Wednesday, May 9.
