Detectives are appealing for information following an armed robbery in Stockport

Just after 1pm on Saturday 17 December 2022, officers were called to reports of an armed robbery at a Post Office on Finney Lane, Heald Green, Stockport.

Subsequent enquiries from GMP’s Stockport CID have established that the offender pointed what is thought to be a firearm at staff before a number of stamps and a significant amount of cash were stolen.

Detective Sergeant Stephen Hartley said: “Thankfully no one was physically injured during the incident but understandably staff were shaken up by the ordeal.

“We’re wanting to identify two men who may be able to assist with our enquiries who were dressed in high-vis orange short sleeve jackets.

“No arrests have been made and extensive work is being done by investigators who are trawling CCTV and speaking to witnesses.”

If you have CCTV, mobile or dashcam footage from that location around the time of the incident - or have any information that could aid the investigation – please contact 0161 856 9821.
