Bank Customer Robbed Of Cash

Detectives investigating a robbery in Poole are releasing images of two men they would like to speak with.

Two men stole a large quantity of money from a customer inside the NatWest Bank at the junction of Kingland Road and High Street North, between 2pm and 2.45pm on Tuesday 28 August 2012.

The victim, a 37-year-old Poole man, was making cash deposits at the counter when he was barged aside and the money was stolen. The victim chased after the culprits and was assaulted – he was left with a broken finger and bruising.

Both escaped in a black Lexus that was parked nearby. This car was later found abandoned in the Poole area.

Detective Constable Sara Butler, of Bournemouth and Poole CID, said:

“Following extensive police enquiries, I am now in a position to release CCTV images of two men who I would like to speak with.

“One of these men is black and was smartly dressed, wearing a light-coloured cardigan and a striped tie.

"The other man is white and was wearing a blue T-shirt, jeans, trainers and a dark blue hooded top.

“I am appealing for anyone who recognises either of these two men to contact police as soon as possible.

“Anyone with any information about this robbery should also call Dorset Police at the earliest opportunity.”
