EASTER eggs were stolen from a petrol station.

On Sunday (12), a man entered the petrol station on Bury Road, Radcliffe, and picked up two large Easter eggs and a number of small ones and ran out the store.

The man is described as white, slim, around 25 to 30-years-old, with black balding hair and was wearing a blue tracksuit.

Police said that the log said 2000 smaller eggs were taken but this may have been an exaggeration.
