WORKERS at a video store refused to hand over cash to two masked intruders.
Staff at Global Videos in Rochdale Road, Bury, were approached by two hooded men who demanded money from the till.
One of the raiders pointed an object covered by a plastic bag in the hope staff would think it was a gun. The attempted robbery happened at 9.45pm last Thursday (March 21). The raiders fled empty handed when staff called their bluff.
The would-be robbers were both Asian, 5ft 8ins tall and wearing dark hooded jackets. Their faces were covered by scarfs.
Anyone who saw the offenders enter or leave the video store through the rear entrance are asked to contact Bury CID on 856 8150 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
