A robber threatened a member of staff at a jewellery store in Stockport before swiping a necklace worth almost £20,000. The robbery took place at Christopher Brown Jewellers on Merseyway in the town centre in January.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said a man came into the shop and asked to look at the necklace, which has been valued at £19,000. "When staff members showed him the necklace, the offender produced something from his pocket and held it to a staff member’s side, and said: 'Give me the necklace'" PC Hayley Errington-Radcliffe said.
