DETECTIVES are appealing for witnesses following an armed robbery at an amusement arcade.

Three masked gunmen entered the arcade in King Street, Leigh around 6.20pm on Tuesday and one of the gang went into the change kiosk, threatened a female staff member and forced her to hand over cash.

The trio, dressed in dark clothing and wearing balaclavas, left the arcade and escaped in a white 'J' registered car. No one was injured in the incident.

Anyone who saw the offenders, either before or after the robbery or has relevant information is asked to contact the Leigh CID on 0161 856 7253 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
