TWO men stormed a shop in Grappenhall armed with baseball bats during a robbery last night, Thursday.
Just after 9.35pm they entered the Spar store on Thelwall Road, dressed in dark clothing and balaclavas.
They made threats towards the staff and demanded money.
The staff locked themselves in a secure office area and the attackers failed to take any money.
They fled on foot, stealing scratchcards and cigarettes. Police say the staff were not hurt during the incident.
Detectives are now examining CCTV from the scene.
Police have now released a picture of a bag found near the scene which they are hoping people will recognise.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Warrington CID quoting incident 1069 May 12 on 0845 458 0000.
