Detective Constable Paddy Connell from North Manchester CID said: “We believe this robbery is linked to one that took place at a Clarks shoe shop in Eccles on Saturday 1 September and we are working closely with our colleagues in Salford to find out who is responsible.
“I would ask anyone who may have seen a silver Fiesta pull up or drive off from outside the shop on Manchester Fort Retail Park at the time of the robbery to contact us. We are also keen to hear from anyone who may have heard people boasting about these robberies. The information you supply could lead us to make an arrest.”
