Police are asking to speak to a man who was the victim of an attempted robbery in Bolton.

On Tuesday (March 1) police were called to the Sainsbury's on Trinity Retail Park in Bolton Town Centre around 7.10pm, after a man was approached by an offender and told to hand over some money.

The victim handed over the cash, but thankfully security guards from the store intervened and returned the money to the victim.
