Bank cash is stolen

A THIEF snatched a bag full of cash from a security guard delivering money to the Yorkshire Bank, in Market Street, Shaw, on Monday afternoon.

No one was injured.

The thief is described as white, in his mid 40s, 5ft 10in to 5ft 11in tall, of medium build and with a limp. He was wearing a black beanie hat, a black coat and blue jeans.
