POLICE are hunting two masked youths who terrorised staff at a Winsford shop in a bank holiday robbery.

The youths raided the Alldays Convenience Store in School Road at around 2pm on Easter Monday.

They threatened the two female staff members with three-feet long pieces of wood, before making off with £378 in cash, lottery scratch cards and mobile phone cards.

The pair then escaped in the direction of Greville Drive.

A police spokesman said: "The staff were uninjured but were very shocked and upset."

This is the second time Alldays has been targeted in the past few months.

Only last Christmas the shop was robbed by men armed with an axe and an eight inch knife.

Police have released descriptions of the two youths, who are both males.

The first is described as being a white 19 to 20 year old, with a slim build and is about 5ft 6ins to 5ft 8ins tall.

He was wearing a grey hooded top and blue tracksuit bottoms with a grey and red face covering.

The other youth was also white, aged between 17 and 18 with a thin build but is 5ft 2ins to 5ft 4ind in height.

The youths are also described as having Liverpool accents.

Anyone with any information is urged to ring Winsford CID on 01244 612589 or call Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111.
