ROBBERS armed with a gun and a knife stole drugs from a Platt Bridge chemist's shop on Monday night and police fear the haul could end up in Leigh.

They stole drugs including temazepam and methadone.

The gunman is described as white, with a yellowish tinge to his skin and was wearing a dark balaclava, a brown headscarf, dark gloves and a short brown jacket. His accomplice, possibly a slimly built woman, wore a balaclava, a red head scarf and a red striped jumper.

Anyone with information about the incident, or who can help identify the offenders is asked to contact Wigan CID on 0161 856 7140 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
