Hammer-wielding robbers struck at a Bradford bank today.

The raid took place at the Yorkshire Bank in Leeds Road at 11am.

Three suspects forced their way into the back of the bank shortly after a cash delivery had taken place and threatened staff, one of whom was attacked.

The gang took a substantial amount of cash and made off in a grey Toyota Avensis vehicle which was later found burned out on Petrie Grove, said police.

Witnesses should contact Detective Inspector Steve Snow at Bradford South CID or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
