After taking the cash, the gang asked for access to the self-service tills, which they stole more money from.

The duo then fled from the shop in a grey Audi A3. 

Detective Constable Dan Hayes of GMP’s Trafford borough, said: ‘The offenders were so set on taking money that they had no concern for the safety of the shop’s hard-working staff.

‘They were left shaken by the incident and it’s fortunate that the staff were only left with minor injuries as a result.

‘This happened at opening time, so I’d ask anyone who was in the area and saw the two men around the shop, or for anyone who recognises the men in the footage, to get in touch with police.’
