TWO men armed with a meat cleaver and large knife tried to rob a store.

They entered Londis in Stanney Lane, Ellesmere Port, at 6.30pm on Monday and demanded the male assistant opened the till.

They escaped empty-handed, running off towards Malvern Avenue. No-one was hurt.

The men were both white aged around 22. One wore a light grey Nike hooded top, the other a dark hooded top and dark bottoms.
