DETECTIVES have released CCTV images of three men they want to speak to in connection with an armed robbery in Lymm.
At around 9.45pm on Sunday, three men entered a The Co-op in Chaise Meadow and threatened staff with a machete and hammer while demanding cash and cigarettes.
The men stole around £6,000 in cash and cigarettes before leaving the store along Birch Brook Road and getting into a small grey car and driving in the direction of Mill Lane.
One man is described as white, between 5 foot 10 inches and 6 foot tall, aged between 25 and 30, broad and very well built.
He was wearing all black clothing including a shiny nylon balaclava, gloves, trousers, shoes and a hoody with a big white logo and words say ‘POLO NYC’ on the front.
He was carrying a black bladed machete with white paint on the side and spoke with a Partington or Carrington accent.
The second man is described as white, between 5 foot 7 inches and 5 foot 10 inches tall, aged between 25 and 30, and wearing all black clothing including a balaclava and gloves.
