Two men smashed their way into Nationwide building society in Brook Square at 7.25pm last night. They confronted the guards, who were delivering cash to the branch.
A third man waited outside. All the robbers wore black balaclavas and dark clothing.
The guards handed over a substantial amount of cash and the raiders ran off between Coral bookmakers and Barclays Bank towards the car park off Wellington Drive. It is believed they may have used a silver estate to make their getaway.
Police are appealing for witnesses to call 101, quoting incident number 623 of December 3, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
