Armed robbers raid primary school
Two men have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery at a school in Greater Manchester.

Police said a armed man forced his way into St Richard's Primary School in Atherton, Wigan, on Monday afternoon.

He stole cash from the reception area before grappling with the head teacher of the school and running off.

Two men, aged 18 and 22, were arrested on suspicion of robbery. The teenager has since been released on bail.

The 22-year-old is still being questioned by officers.

Det Con Elaine Dickinson said: "How anyone could target a school is beyond me.

"This was a frightening attack that has left some staff understandably shaken. Fortunately the staff cooperated with the offender's demands and no one was injured.
