POLICE ARE appealing for help to find three men who robbed a Post Office in Lees armed with crowbars.
At about 9.15am on Wednesday 12 August 2015, the men broke into the Post Office on Lees Road and when a member of staff opened up the shop they confronted her.
They dragged her to the floor and threatened her with crowbars, demanding that she open the safe. Unable to get into the safe, they stole cash and fled on foot.
Police are now appealing to anyone with information to come forward.
Two of the men are described as Asian in appearance, in their early 20s, 5ft 6in to 5ft 7in tall, of small or slim build, with dark brown eyes. Both were wearing dark clothing, and face coverings and spoke with local accents.
Detective Constable Colette Wilkinson of Oldham division said: “Thankfully, no-one was physically injured during this robbery but a member of staff was confronted by three men with a crowbar and is understandably traumatised.
“We have spoken again to the victim and witnesses who have given us a clearer description of the offenders.
“If you saw these men either going into or fleeing the Post Office, or men fitting their description hanging around the area acting suspiciously at about the time of the robbery, then please come forward as you could have vital information that will help us.
“I would appeal to anyone who has information about the robbery to come forward.”
Anyone with information should call police on 0161 856 9063 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
