TWO ARMED men who robbed Greenfield Post Office and fled on a motorbike are being sought by police.
The robbery took place at 4.10pm on Tuesday, November 5 when the duo entered the post office on Chew Valley Road and threatened staff.
The men, one armed with a handgun while the other had an axe, stole a quantity of cash before making off along Shaw Hall Bank Road on a red and black Ninja Kawasaki motorbike.
Staff were left uninjured but terrified after the robbery and police are trying to catch the pair, who were wearing black clothing and black motorbike helmets with the visors down.
Detective Sergeant John Coleman, based at Oldham police station, said: “Staff at this post office have been left extremely distressed and we have a number of officers working to identify the two men responsible.
“Just after 4pm would have been quite a busy time in this area as people would have been making their way back home after the school run.
“I would encourage anyone who saw this motorbike and the two men either before the robbery, or after it, to please get in touch and tell us what you saw.
“You may think your information is only trivial, but it could be vital to our investigation.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact officers at Oldham police station on 0161 856 8985 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
