CCTV footage of a violent robbery at a Post Office in Radcliffe has been released by detectives.
At about 2.15pm on Friday, 24 June 2016, two masked men burst into the Post Office on Ainsworth Road armed with a sledgehammer and crowbar.
Once inside the robber with the crowbar attacked a 28-year-old staff member. The victim had to be taken to hospital with a suspected broken arm and bruising.
The offender then demanded money from a cash-in-transit driver before he hit him with the bar causing injuries to his hands.
Both the men ran off from the scene with a quantity of cash stolen from the till.
Detective Constable Mark Robertson, from GMP’s Bury borough, said: “This was a despicable robbery where two innocent men were beaten with a crowbar."
“The footage is shocking and the victims would have feared the worst during this ordeal."
“The 28-year-old was so badly beaten he needed on-going treatment and I would like to praise both of the men for their courage throughout this investigation."
“I am appealing directly to the public to please call us with any information you have about this crime."
