Police say armed robbers who broke into a sports shop with chainsaws and pickaxes may have been filmed by members of the public on mobile phones, reports BBC News.

A gang of up to eight masked robbers broke through security shutters at MBO Sports on Bury New Road in the Cheetham Hill area of Manchester on Tuesday night.

Greater Manchester Police are urging anyone who took footage of the raid to come forward.
