Investigation Follows Liverpool Bank Robbery
Merseyside Police are investigating a burglary at a bank in north Liverpool on Monday afternoon, 2 December.
Shortly after 5pm, police were called to the Prescot Road branch of Halifax in Old Swan by the manager.
Officers found a number of offenders had gained entry to the bank at closing time through the roof. They threatened staff before stealing a large amount of cash.
None of the nine members of staff were badly hurt, but all were left shaken by the ordeal. One women suffered a minor neck injury after being knocked over when the offenders dropped down into the bank.
Officers secured the area and during a search a Landrover Freelander was found abandoned in nearby Aylesford Road.
The car has been seized by the police for forensic examination.
Detectives investigating the robbery believe there were up to four offenders involved. All are described as white, aged in their late teens or early 20s who were wearing dark clothing and grey face coverings.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area shortly before or after the incident is asked to call St Anne Street CID on 0151 777 4065 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
