A SHOPPER had a gun pointed at his head during a robbery at a convenience store.
Four men wearing dark clothing went into the shop in Minerva Road, Farnworth, just before 11pm on Thursday.
They threatened two members of staff and a male customer.
One of the men was armed with a handgun and pointed it at the customer’s head as he demanded cash.
His three accomplices went behind the till to steal money and cigarettes.
The four men, who were all wearing balaclavas or scarves around their faces, then ran out of the shop.
They were all described as being white and around 20- years-old. They all wore dark hoodies and one of the men wore grey tracksuit bottoms.
Anyone with information should call police on 101.
