Armed robbery on Farnborough Santander bank delivery

Two masked robbers armed with a sledge hammer held up security guards who were delivering cash to a bank in Hampshire.

The raiders targeted the two Group 4 Security workers at the Farnborough branch of Santander in Eastmead on Monday evening, police said.

One of the guards was assaulted before the robbers escaped with what police described as a "quantity of cash" in a white car, thought to be a Vauxhall.

Police said the car may have been in collision with a white Audi as it left.

Detectives are appealing to the driver of the Audi to contact them.

Anyone else with information about the robbery, which occurred at about 22:00 GMT, is asked to contact Hampshire Constabulary.

Man's jaw broken in Edinburgh store attack

A man suffered a broken jaw after being attacked while trying to help a security guard who was arguing with two men outside a store in Edinburgh.

Police said the men turned on the 25-year-old victim when he intervened during the argument.

The victim needed surgery after he was punched, knocked to the ground and kicked around the head.

The incident happened at about 03:45 outside the Scotmid store in Nicolson Street.

A spokesman for Lothian and Borders Police said: "The victim was attacked after he went to the assistance of the shop's security guard who was trying to deal with two members of the public who were remonstrating with him and, on doing so, they turned their attention to the young man when he intervened.

"In a totally unprovoked attack, this man received a serious facial injury. We are appealing for anyone who witnessed this vicious assault or has any information to contact us."

The two suspects, who are both white and believed to be in their early 20s, made off south along Nicolson Street.

The first is described as being of stocky build, about 5ft 8in tall and wearing a dark top and jeans, Timberland-style boots and a woolly hat.

The second is of slim build, with short dark hair, about 5ft 10in tall, wearing a grey top and jeans.

Third guilty of robbing security guard in Machynlleth

A third man has admitted robbing a security guard carrying £13,000 in cash from a bank in Machynlleth, Powys.

Robert Court, 23, from Solihull, west Midlands, was remanded in custody after his plea last Friday.

Mark Ricardo Lawlor, 26, from Solihull, and Micquel Daniel France, 24, from the Birmingham area, had previously pleaded guilty. They will be sentenced later.

All three took part in the robbery outside Barclays on 19 May, Mold Crown Court heard.

Judge Rhys Rowlands was told Court had also pleaded guilty to a separate robbery and was awaiting sentence at Stoke Crown Court.

Lawlor and France's sentencing had been delayed in order for the case of Court to be dealt with simultaneously.

Getaway driver

The court heard that France was a serving prisoner on day release from Sudbury prison when the robbery took place.

He was collected from the prison, and he and Lawlor robbed the guard after pushing him to the floor, while Court was said to have been the getaway driver.

France and Lawlor were arrested a short time later, and the money was recovered.

The court was told France had received a 12-year sentence for attempted murder in 2006, and Lawlor had received a 12-year sentence in 2004 for robbery and possession of a firearm when a security officer was attacked outside a west Midlands supermarket.

Judge Rowlands said the issue of dangerousness would have to be considered when they came to be sentenced.

College course in Fleetwood to thwart pirates

No ship with armed guards has ever been captured”
John Matthews, Head of Fleetwod Nautical Campus

"When some skippers see pirates are coming they stop the engine - that is just about the worst thing you can do."

For Tony Dumbell, head of Maritime Operations at Fleetwood Nautical Campus, dealing with pirates is a matter of common sense, as he speaks from a virtual ship's bridge in a classroom off the Lancashire coast.

The Gulf of Aden may be a world away from the Irish Sea but this college is leading the way in preparing mariners on how to deal with pirates.

It also helps sea marshals - armed security guards based on ships - tackle the basics of managing the potentially-lethal situation.

The college, where Prince William learned how to escape from a submerged helicopter, is offering modules on dealing with piracy as part of its courses for merchant navy officer cadets.

Campus head John Matthews said the college decided to offer the courses after a former student told them about an attempted piracy attack 18 months ago.

The ship eventually repelled the attempted boarders by hurling large chunks of wood at the approaching launch.

Although students don body armour and are taught how to avoid rocket propelled grenades, much of the training offered is based on the less heroic world of protocols, procedure and risk management.

"We're not looking for Rambos," said Mr Matthews.

Sea marshals on the course are ex-servicemen drawn from security firms who have weeded out any unsuitable applicants.

It is already taken for granted they know how to handle weapons and operate in combat situations.

Students learn how to deal with emergencies using a simulated ship's bridge which can replicate any conditions at sea from storms to gunmen landing on deck. The computer generated images which can be seen on the screen are so realistic that some people even report feeling slightly seasick as they view the swell of the waves.

Ships' officers learn how to carry out risk assessments for each voyage - this will usually determine the number of marshals to keep aboard.

Once at sea, ships operate a six-mile exclusion zone - any craft encroaching into this area will force the marshal to decide whether to fire warning flares.

His next step might be to issue the crew with body armour and his last move might be to collect live ammunition from a locked cupboard.

Panic room
By this time the naval coalition patrolling the gulf will have been contacted and non-essential crew moved to the ship's citadel - a maritime panic room in the bowels of the vessel.

Normally warning shots are enough to deter pirates but if a pirate craft keeps heading to the vessel, eventually the crew will be ordered into the citadel. This is the time to cut the engines and sit tight until helicopters or ships from the naval coalition arrive.

Eleven vessels with 149 hostages are currently being held by pirates, who are mostly Somalis.

The UK Chamber of Shipping recently said the longer term solution lies with action by the international community but in the short term, measures such as sea marshals will certainly help, or as Mr Matthews put it: "No ship with armed guards has ever been captured."

And there is one basic message for all mariners, "We always tell them to look behind you - that's where the pirates are coming from," he said.
