    Masked raiders wearing fluorescent clothing have made off with a £1m haul of luxury watches in what police described as a "brazen" raid in a city centre store.

    The robbers struck at Selfridges in Manchester while it was open and full of shoppers.

    They walked into the premises in Exchange Square wearing high visibility jackets and trousers shortly after 7.20pm on Wednesday.

    Police said the trio then smashed display cabinets with an axe and crowbars and stole 100 watches.

    They escaped in a black Mercedes Benz driven by a fourth offender.

    The car was found abandoned in Robert Street, Strangeways, a short time later.

    Watches including Audemars Piguet, Jaeger Lecoultre, Hublot and Cartier were stolen.
