Man in hospital after North Manchester robbery

    Police are appealing for information after a man was left in a serious condition in North Manchester.

    On Tuesday (14 August) afternoon three offenders entered a shop on Cheetham Hill Road armed with a weapon.

    They assaulted two people inside, before stealing a large amount of money and fleeing in what is believed to be a silver car.

    A man in his 60s was left with serious injuries and was taken to hospital, where he remains for treatment.

    Detective Inspector Andy Buckthorpe of GMP’s City of Manchester Division, said: “This robbery took place in a busy shopping area in broad daylight- someone must have seen the men in the lead up to this terrifying incident.

    “While this man recovers from his serious injuries, our team of detectives are following a number of enquiries.

    “You will see officers in the area this evening and for the remainder of this week, and I’d encourage anyone with information to speak to them directly.”
