Police hunt armed robbers that stormed a Fallowfield club
Police are hunting for armed robbers that stormed into a club in Fallowfield.
At around 20 past midnight this morning, four men wearing hooded jackets and ski masks carrying a baseball bat and a claw hammer burst into the foyer of St Kentigerns Club on Wilbraham Road.
They made threats against a member of staff and demanded the keys to the safe to which the man refused.
