Over the last week there have been two robberies in Gatley.
Last week a man robbed the Co-op at the corner of Gatley Road and Oakwood Avenue, carrying a gun (which may have been a fake). I’m told he escaped by car, and the vehicle was later recovered by police in the Wythenshawe area.
Last night a man (possibly the same man) held up Alaska Chicken, again with a gun which may have been a fake but you’re really not going to wait to find out.
The total amount stolen appears to have been just a few hundred pounds.
Anyone with information is asked to call Stockport CID on 0161 856 5740 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

That is the most frightening news ever! I hope the CSO’s will be around more often!!
I apologise in advance for the sarcasm. LibDem & Cons wil be pleased that for a few hundred pounds loss some thousands have been saved in policing the area!
Hi David, I hope you saw my other post pointing out that our area actually has MORE police than previously.
It’s also worth noting that the Coalition are cutting spending on policing, health, schools, HE and FE less than Labour had planned to cut them,so on this occasion I think your sarcasm may be misplaced.
Crime… Wythenshawe… no surprise there then !
