Detectives from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) are appealing for information following an armed robbery in Cheadle.
The incident took place at 10am on Monday 25 March, at a premises on Councillor Lane.
Police report that a man entered the premises, "wedged the electric sliding door open and approached the counter with a white bag holding an unknown item demanding cash".
The man is believed to have been acting alone. He left the scene on foot with £6,000. Nobody was injured during the robbery.
As yet, no arrests have been made, and enquiries are ongoing to locate the suspect.
Police would particularly like to speak to one man (pictured) in connection with this incident as they believe he has vital information that could help enquiries.
Detective Sergeant Chris Oldham of GMP's Stockport district said; "We understand the concern this incident will raise in the local community and we are actively exploring a number of lines of enquiry.
"As this happened in broad daylight, we are confident there will be witnesses and we are now appealing to them to come forward and share any details with us that could help with the investigation.
"Thankfully no one was seriously injured or hurt during the robbery, but with a significant amount of cash being taken, we are committed on finding the suspect to prevent any further incidents.
"Patrols will continue in the surrounding areas to offer reassurance and we would encourage members of the public to continue to report or tell our officers of any concerns."
Anyone with information is asked to call 0161 856 9790 direct or 101 quoting incident 911 of 25/03/2024. Alternatively, details can be passed on anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
