The raid on the bank branch occurred ______. [br]
NR Newsreader
IW Inspector Wells
NR: Here is the local news. More details are emerging of yesterday’s raid on the city center branch
of the Northern bank. A spokesman for the bank said earlier today that a total of 5,500 pounds
in bank notes and traveler’s checks had been stolen. None of the bank’ s staff were injured
but two cashiers and a member of the public had been treated for shock after the incident,
which occurred just before closing time yesterday afternoon. Police have spent the day interviewing
eye-witnesses and piecing together information they have received via a special telephone
hotline. We’ll be giving you that number again later in the program. Here to tell us
more about the enquiry, though, is Inspector Tom Wells of Wessex CID. Hello, Inspector.
IW: Hello.
NR: This seems to have been quite a daring raid, doesn’t it?
IW: Yes, indeed. The robbers drove up to the bank in broad daylight and parked right outside.
NR: Do we know what kind of car they were driving?
IW: Yes, we know they were in a blue Ford van and thanks to a very sharp-eyed witness, we know
that the registration number was BWV 593 with either an A or an H at the end and I’d like to
ask your viewers to keep an eye open for that vehicle and let us know if they see it. It’s probably
been abandoned somewhere by now.
NR: What else can you tell us at this stage?
IW: Well, one man entered the bank at about 3:20, leaving the other at the wheel of the van. He
must have put on a mask to hide his face when he was just inside the door. He then produced
a sawn-off shotgun and made the three customers who were in the bank at the time lie on the
floor before demanding money from the cashiers.
NR: Do you know if it was a real gun?
IW: He didn’t actually fire the gun of course, thank goodness, but we’re pretty sure it was a real
gun and there’s no reason to believe it wasn’t loaded. The manager, who was in his office,
saw what was happening and pressed the alarm bell. He then came out to help his staff to pack
the money into the bag. The gunman gagged him and tied him to a chair afterwards, but he
didn’t actually injure him. While that was happening, a customer managed to run out of the
bank and call for help. But, unfortunately, the robber was able to grab the bag and make his
escape before the police arrived on the scene. But he did drop a scarf he was wearing on the pavement as he escaped and that may give us some clues.
NR: But thankfully there were no injuries. I believe you’ve issued a description of a man police
would like to interview in connection with the robbery. Haven’t you?
IW: That’s right, yes, we’ve had a couple of pretty good description of the man who entered the
bank and we now also have an artist’s impression of him. He’ s described as in his mid thirties
and of median height. He’s got shoulder-length sandy-colored hair, quite warty, and a
pale, rather unhealthy-looking complexion. He was wearing an earring in one ear and several
witnesses reported seeing a sticking plaster on his face so we believe he may have a cut of some
kind on his left cheek.
NR: Well, that sounds like a very useful description. Do you know what he was wearing?
IW: Yes. He was wearing a kind of light colored ski-type jacket and dirty jeans with a tear in one
of the knees and he had sports shoes on. Oh, one other thing: the bank’s security camera
shows him holding his gun in his left hand suggesting that he may be left-handed.
NR: So, if you see this man what should the viewers do, Inspector?
IW: Well don’t approach him. We believe he may be dangerous. If you see him, telephone the
hotline On 574301 or call your local police station.
NR: Thank you, Inspector Tom Wells. That number again is 574301 if you have any information
which you think would help the police.
