CCTV Shows Armed Robbers Storming Jewellers

CCTV reveals Shocking footage of armed robbers storming into a jewellers and terrorising staff has been released by police.
It shows a gang wearing balaclavas smashing down the door of Altrincham store David M Robinson Ltd with a battering ram and rushing inside.

One of the raiders then brandishes a machete at a terrified member of staff as others begin to attack glass cabinets with other tools.
Another man, wielding an axe, rushes to the rear of the shop while the raider with a machete grabs the staff member and begins dragging him from room to room.
White smoke suddenly bursts into the room as a security device is activated and the gang are forced to flee.
Greater Manchester Police said the raiders escaped with 13 watches worth £186,820 in a bag.
During the robbery, the shop's security guard was pushed inside and ordered to lie on the ground, they said.
A metal bar was used to prevent automatic security shutters from coming down.
After they fled, the four men got into a black Land Rover which left at high speed.
The vehicle was later found abandoned on Ashworth Close, in Bowdon, about a mile from the jewellers.
Officers said they believe the offenders transferred to a second getaway car, a white Mercedes, which was parked in Hopkins Field, Bowdon.
Detectives in charge of the inquiry say they want to speak to anyone who witnessed the robbery, which happened on Railway Street, Altrincham, at around 12.20pm on Wednesday 10 June.
Detective Inspector Carl Gilbert said: "We are still hunting for these men, who made off with a substantial amount of jewellery.
"Detectives are still appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the heist itself, or the offenders in the act of escaping to contact us.
"Also, new information has suggested that these men changed vehicle into a white Mercedes once they had arrived in Bowdon, which offers us another chance to possibly track these men.
"We believe they may have changed car at around 12.45pm on Wednesday 10th June 2015, so we would like to ask anyone who may have been in the area at the time to contact police."
