Armed police descended on Coundon last night after bank robbers struck.

Armed raiders targeted the Coventry Building Society , in Barkers Butts Lane , last night and made off with a box of cash.

A security guard suffered a minor injury to his face after being threatened with a knife and ordered to hand over the cash, the amount of which has not been disclosed.

Police were today appealing for information over the raid, which happened at around 8.30pm.

Two suspects, both wearing balaclavas, fled the scene in a dark-coloured car in the direction of Friars Fields Road.

One man told us on Facebook he saw armed police and a cash-in-transit van outside the bank shortly after 9pm.

Anyone with information about the incident should call the Force CID priorities team on 101.
