"Thankfully those in the store were left unharmed following the incident, however the offenders were still able to flee the scene with the cash,” DC Adam Ross-Sercombe of GMP's City of Manchester Division said.

"We have released these images in the hope that someone may have information or can help to identify these men, as we are keen to speak with them to assist us in our enquiries.

“This incident occurred in broad daylight on Fog Lane at the junction with Kingsway, so we are appealing to anyone who may have been passing in the area and has any information to come forward and assist us in our enquiries.

“We are particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have dash-cam footage of the incident.”

Anyone with any information is asked to call police on 0161 856 6198, quoting incident number 1224 of August 10; or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
