Armed bank robbers attack security guard.

The masked robbers struck at Lloyds TSB in Walsgrave Road, Stoke, at about 10.45am on a Tuesday morning. The second bank raid in the city in just a few days.

Police said they attacked a security delivery guard before escaping in a getaway car with an undisclosed amount of cash.

A West Midlands Police spokesman said four raiders, all thought to be men, were involved. One waited in a grey Ford Focus while the other three stole the money after threatening the Security Officer outside the bank with a handgun. No shots were fired and the guard was not injured

The car made off up Shakespeare Street and turned right into Dane Road.

Brian Ellis, aged 33, who was at work with his 59-year-old father, Ken, in the family butchers F.E Ellis, in Walsgrave Road, told how he was on the phone to police as the dramatic incident unfolded.

He said: "The first we knew was there was a bit of a scuffle outside. Three men, all wearing balaclavas, were pulling a security guard out of the bank.

"They pushed him around the back of his van. One of them had a small handgun. I got straight on to the police and was describing what was happening as it happened.

"There was only my dad and I here in the shop at the time. There were no customers.
"They ran off to a car, a grey Ford Focus, and sped off up Shakespeare Street.

"The guard wasn't knocked to the ground or hurt at all. The police arrived within a few minutes, but the men were well away by then."
