Robbers cut hole in raid at Lloyds TSB Warley branch
Robbers have taken tens of thousands of pounds after cutting a hole in the side of a West Midlands bank.
A hole "just big enough for a person to squeeze through" was found at a Lloyds TSB branch on Hagley Road West, Warley, police said.
The robbers gained access to a cash machine in the building between Sunday evening and Monday morning.
A tarpaulin was placed over the back yard to hide the offenders' activities, West Midlands Police added.
Det Sgt Michael Greenland, who is leading the inquiry, said: "This was an organised and carefully planned raid on a bank, at a time when the cash machine was well stocked."
