Police have released CCTV after an attempted robbery at a jeweller's shop in Rusholme.
At about 12.20pm on Saturday 5th September, three men tried to smash their way in to Royal Jewellers on Wilmslow Road using a wham-ram.
The man working in the shop pressed the emergency button, activating the smoke screen.
The offenders didn’t manage to get in and fled into a stolen black Audi A4 displaying false registration of KH64 UPH in the direction of Didsbury before police arrived.
The car was later found abandoned on Horton Road.
The men were wearing balaclavas and hooded tops.

Detective Constable Kate Grundy of South Manchester division said:
“The men tried to force their way in by smashing the glass doors. Fortunately, they didn’t manage to get in, but the man working inside was understandably shocked and scared.” "This happened in broad daylight with families around and I would appeal to anyone who saw the incident or the Audi driving away, or who has any information, to contact police."
