ROBBERY AT BARCLAYS BANK IN ST ALBANS

Police are appealing for witnesses and information following a robbery at Barclays Bank in St Albans, Tuesday, January 27.

The incident occurred at 2pm on St Peters Street when a security van was delivering money to the bank’s premises. As a security guard was loading cash from a bag into a hatch of a cash machine within the branch, a man snatched the bag, which contained a large sum of money. A second man, who had been standing by the door, began to shout at the first man, encouraging him to hurry up.
