POLICE are hunting four men who stole £250, when they burst into the Blockbuster Video store in Leigh at the weekend.

The men, who all wore balaclava masks, were armed with baseball bats.

They ordered the shop assistant to hand over the cash from the till and escaped from the shop on Holden Road, Leigh, in a stolen Nissan Primera.

Police say they are not yet linking the robbery with a similar incident at a newsagent's in the area earlier last week.
