POLICE have appealed for witnesses to a burglary at an Accrington video store.
Two Asian men entered Blockbuster Videos, Blackburn Road, near McDonald's, and held a sharp instrument against the store assistant before ordering her to open the till.
The burglars then ran through a fire escape and ran away up Dutton Street. They had taken between £300 and £400.
Both men are 18, 6ft, with short cropped black hair and had scarves over their months and noses.
One wore a knee-length black jacket and navy baggy jeans. The other wore a black bomber-style jacket and baggy black jeans.
DC Neil Gardner said: "This is type of burglary is becoming more common which is a big concern for us.
"We would ask anyone who may have seen the men hanging around the store before or saw them running or driving away afterwards to contact us."
Anyone with information on the incident between 8.30pm and 8.45pm on Wednesday should call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or Accrington CID on 01254 353743.
