Man zapped with stun gun during violent Bury robbery

    A man was zapped with a stun gun and punched repeatedly during a street robbery in Bury. 

    The attack happened as the 21-year-old victim was walking to his van on Frank Street at around 6.30pm on Saturday 22 July 2017. 

    He noticed a blue Ford Focus ST parked on Edward Street with three people inside. Two of the occupants got out of the car before zapping him with the stun gun and punching him. 

    They then stole a quantity of cash from him before the victim managed to run to Bury Market to raise the alarm. He required hospital treatment. 

    The robbers jumped into the Ford Focus, driving away down East Street and Heywood Street. 

    Police are appealing for anyone who may have been in the area at the time to get in touch.
