POLICE have released CCTV of a man they want to speak to following an armed robbery at a business in Tameside.
At around 9.30pm on Thursday, January 21, police received a report of an armed robbery at a premises on Yew Tree Lane, Dukinfield.
A man entered the premises and, whilst brandishing a firearm, demanded cash from the till. He left the scene on foot, with a quantity of cash, via Mountbatten Avenue and towards the Newton area of Hyde.
No one was injured.
Officers recovered a black baseball cap, black rubber glove, high visibility yellow jacket and a £10 note from an alleyway near Bradley Green Primary School.

"We want to speak with the man in the CCTV images and I'd ask him or anyone who recognises him to contact us or Crimestoppers.
"I'd also encourage anyone else with information to pass it on."
