FIVE burglars stole cigarettes and cash after holding a Timperley shop up in an armed robbery last week.

The offenders, armed with a knife, walked into the Nisa store, on Heyes Lane, at 9.50pm on Thursday February 4.

They stole cigarettes and cash from the store before fleeing the scene in a black Peugeot 208 with stolen number plates.

The car has since been located by police.

Anyone with information about this crime should call police on 101 or anonymously on 0800 555 111.
