Police are appealing for witnesses after armed robbers raided a betting shop in Bradford.

Three men, one believed to be brandishing a handgun, demanded cash from staff at Ladbrokes on Allerton Road, Four Lane Ends, at about 1.45pm yesterday.

After entering the shop, the robbers jumped over the partition and threatened staff.

They fled with a large amount of cash and were last seen running in the direction of houses at the back of the premises, towards West Park Road.

One suspect is described as a 6ft tall, black male of big build who was wearing dark clothing and a dark sweatshirt.

The second was a white, thin 19-year-old male with dirty-blond hair and the third was also a black male. All three had their faces covered.

Any witnesses are urged to contact Toller Lane Police on (01274) 376259 or 376285.
