An off licence in Wistaston has been targeted twice by robbers in four days, police revealed.
Bargain Booze on Kings Drive was raided on Saturday January 4 and again last night (January 8).
In the first robbery, a man armed with scissors entered the store and demanded money.
He stole money, cigarettes and alcohol before fleeing the shop towards the car park.
The man is described as white, around 6ft, thin and aged around 30 to 40-years-old.
He was wearing a dark green coat, dark tracksuit bottoms and grey trainers with a white snood, a black snood, a dark glove and a light coloured glove.
In the second incident (CCTV, above) at around 9.10pm last night, two men believed to be armed with hammers, entered the shop and demanded money.
They stole money and cigarettes before running off through the front door.
The men were both wearing a black jacket with the hood up with black tracksuit bottoms, dark trainers and dark coloured gloves.
One of the men had a white trim down the sides of the jacket.
At this stage, this latest incident is not believed to be linked to the first incident.
Detectives have issued CCTV images of three men they would like to speak to in connection with both incidents.
Detective Constable Simon Knowles, from Crewe CID, said: “These incidents are particularly shocking and although no-one was injured, the outcome could have been a lot worse.
“We are determined to track down those responsible for both incidents and bring them to justice.
“We are keen to trace the men in the CCTV images and would ask anyone with any information to come forward.
“If you were in the Kings Drive area around the times of the robberies and saw anything suspicious we would like to hear from you.”
