Arrests as man left tied up in Whitchurch armed raid
Two men have been arrested after an armed raid at a vending machine company in which an employee was left tied up.
A gang of up to five men forced their way into the Cherwells unit on the Waymills Industrial Estate in Whitchurch, Shropshire, at 07:00 BST.
Police said the men tied up a worker at the firm and escaped with a "significant" quantity of cigarettes.
The group left in a white van, thought to be heading towards Nantwich, in Cheshire.
The van was found on Merseyside and two men in their 40s were arrested.
No-one was injured in the raid.
