Two men who had been questioned by police in connection with an armed robbery at a Bradford bank have been released.

The men, aged 22 and 29, who were detained last week after raids by police in Tong Street, Laisterdyke and Leeds, have been bailed pending further inquiries.

A 25-year-old woman, arrested on suspicion of money laundering, has also been released on bail pending inquiries.

The swoops, involving firearms officers, were in connection with a raid at the Yorkshire Bank in Leeds Road, Laisterdyke. Three robbers armed with hammers threatened staff and escaped with a significant amount of staff.

Detectives continue to appeal for witnesses and information. Anyone who can help should contact Bradford South CID, on 0845 6060606, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
