A MAN has been left 'extremely shaken' after three men - one brandishing a knife - demanded money from him.

At around 9.45pm on Thursday, April 19, a 27-year-old man from Northwich was approached by three men as he walked along Wallerscote Road, by Wallerscote Close and the entrance to Owley Wood Country Park in Weaverham.

Cheshire Police are urging anyone who witnessed the attempted robbery or thinks they may have seen the offenders or know who they are to get in touch.

"I would like to reassure the public that this appears to be an isolated incident. We are determined to catch the offenders and enquiries into the incident are ongoing."
