THREE masked raiders armed with a knife stole cash from a 23-year-old man as he was about to leave his house in Avondale Avenue, Bury.

The men -- wearing Balaclavas -- pushed him back into his home at 11pm on Saturday. One then took out the weapon and demanded money.

They ran off with a small amount, leaving the man, who has not been named, shaken but unhurt. Police are appealing for witnesses.
