Officers are appealing for information over a robbery last summer where around £6,700 in cash along with around £2,000 worth of foreign currency was stolen from a post office in Walkden.
At around 2.50pm on August 2023, officers responded to reports of a robbery at Walkden Post Office in Ellesmere Shopping Centre in Salford.
Through enquiries, detectives believe a man entered the Post Office before brandishing a suspected firearm and telling the store staff to put the till money in a carrier bag.
Thankfully no serious injuries were reported at the time.
Detective Constable Hill of Salford’s CID; said: “This was an understandably a traumatic incident for the store workers and after conducting and following a number of lines of enquiry, we are now in a position to appeal to the local public for any additional information.
“We appreciate the image isn’t of the best quality – but if you saw anything suspicious in or around the area around the time of the incident please get in touch with us.”
Police are now looking to identify and speak to a man who they believe may have vital information that can help with the investigation.
If anyone has information that may assist officers with their enquiries, they are encouraged to contact 0161 856 5194 direct or 101 quoting log number 2185 of the 17/8/2023.
Alternatively, details can be passed on anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
