Armed robbers threatened staff at a Manchester kosher deli before escaping with a till last Thursday evening.
Three men, carrying a knife and a hammer, entered Shefa Mehadrin deli in Prestwich at around 8pm.
A 23-year-old employee, who had been behind the stolen till, said: "I was worried I would get stabbed. One of them tried to open the till with his knife."
Cash was strewn over the pavement outside the Bury New Road premises as the men fled in a car.
Store owner Motti Gershon gave chase in his car but "didn't get the number-plate because they covered it with a black bag".
