POSING as a customer a man went into Nuttall Lane Newsagents on Bolton Street, Ramsbottom, last Saturday and demanded goods and cash, claiming he had a gun.
He entered the shop at 5.50pm, selected some items and asked a 33 year old male assistant to put them into a bag before making threats, refusing to pay for the items and demanding money from the till.
He ran off with cash and goods to the value of £80.
Police are looking for a white male aged 30 to 35 with blonde shaven hair, 5ft 10ins tall of stocky build with one earring and wearing a blue denim jacket or shirt with a white shirt beneath. He also wore jeans and black shoes.
