Man brandishing large knife steals cash from Salford Subway

A man brandishing a large knife stole money from a branch of Subway in Salford.

On the early evening of Wednesday 10 February, the man, armed with a large knife, went into Subway on the East Lancs Road in Swinton.

He approached two members of staff and made threats towards them. The two women working there attempted to run from the shop but the man managed to detain one of them.

He forced her to open the till and then took a small amount of cash and ran from the shop. It is believed he then got on a bicycle and cycled away.

The offender is described as white, tall, with fair hair and a fair complexion. He was wearing a blue ski jacket with the hood pulled up tightly round his face.

Police are appealing for information and witnesses.

Detective Constable Dave Cupitt said:

Anyone with information should call police on 0161 856 5049/5470 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
