Detectives have released CCTV images of five men they would like to speak to after a motorbike owner was threatened with hammers during a terrifying armed robbery.
The raid took place at a garage in Wilmslow on Monday afternoon. Police say a man used an angle grinder to break the chain securing the Honda XL 250S bike, while another blocked a door preventing the owner from intervening.
The gang then threatened the owner with hammers as he tried to stop them taking the motorbike, which was later abandoned.
