Police are continuing to appeal for information after a shocking broad daylight armed robbery shocked onlookers on Saturday (July 23) afternoon. A group of around 'five or six' masked men used a car to 'ram-raid' into the jewellers on Wilmslow Road, Rusholme, before entering the shop armed with weapons.
The incident happened at around 1.40pm when Manchester's 'Curry Mile' was typically busy with the group leaving a trail of destruction as they smashed their way into Cashopper, opposite the junction for Great Western Street. The car used for the raid was left damaged in the middle of the road, with police sealing off the busy street for a number of hours as investigations, including forensic, were carried out. One man suffered minor injuries, police said at the time.
Footage of the incident taking place was shared on social media, showing stunned onlookers unable to do anything as the robbery quickly took place. Greater Manchester Police (GMP) have confirmed that no arrests have been made in relation to the incident, with an investigation ongoing.
