MASKED raiders threatened staff at a take-away in Prestwich on Tuesday night before making off with cash.

Two robbers crept into KFC on Bury New Road via a rear door at around 10.20pm and ordered staff to open the safe.

The pair stole money before leaving workers in the take-away shaken but no injuries were reported.

One of the offenders is described as a white male of stocky build between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet tall, 18 to 25 years old and wearing a black scarf around his face.

Staff were not able to get a description of the second man.

Police ask that anyone who witnessed this incident or with any information which could help to contact Bury CID on 0161 856 8150 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
