THREE masked men burst into a electrical goods shop in Leigh town centre and stole a range of flat screen televisions.

Police are appealing for information after the masked men raided TV and Video Direct, on Bradshawgate at 4.15pm on Wednesday.

The men threatened staff before stealing a quantity of flat screen televisions. The three men escaped in a blue VW Passatt, which was waiting outside the shop, with another man, who acted as the getaway driver.

The car was found by police abandoned shortly after the raid on The Avenue, in Leigh, nearby. No-one was injured in the robbery.

The three masked men were all wearing balaclavas, gloves, dark clothes and trousers.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Leigh CID on 0161 856 4952 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
