Halifax bank security guard fights off sledgehammer-wielding raiders

A SECURITY guard fought off raiders who came at him with a sledgehammer.

The wannabe robbers fled empty-handed from the Halifax bank, in Wharf Street, Sowerby Bridge, after demanding the cash boxes from security guards.

Two men, one wearing a balaclava and carrying a sledgehammer, burst into the bank at 9.30pm on a Thursday night as cash was being delivered.

A police spokesman said: "After a brief scuffle with the Security Officer they made off empty handed in a green BMW car.

"The Security Personnel was not seriously injured." Police have described the first intruder as white, wearing all black clothes and a balaclava. The second man is also white and was wearing a green parka-style jacket.

One Sowerby Bridge resident said:"The whole town was blocked off by police.

I had to go all the way round the back of the train station. "The roads were still cordoned off at 10.30pm when I was trying to come through."
