Detective Constable Amelia Trimble, of GMP’s Wigan District, said: “This was a terrifying incident for staff to endure and while there were thankfully no injuries, it has had a considerable psychological impact.
“Do you recognise either of the people in these images? While the pictures aren’t of the clearest quality, their clothing is quite distinctive – particularly the trousers numbered ‘85’ and the bright top of the second individual.
“If you can assist our enquiries, please get in touch.”
