[Al Arabiya Latest] A man dressed as a Muslim woman in all-enveloping burka and hijab robbed a jeweler shop in Bury, Greater Manchester Police said on Thursday.
"Show your face
Or stay outta this place."
Is that legal in Britain these days? |
Two accomplices, one of whom had a shotgun, barged into the shop with the man on Wednesday, and stole bangles, rings and lockets before escaping in a waiting car.
Greater Manchester has a large Muslim community, mostly from South Asia, and traditional Muslim dress is common.
Police are appealing for information on the robbery.
