Armed robbers threatened staff at a Nottingham bank before making off with a quantity of money, police have said.
The incident happened at the Wollaton Road branch of Lloyds TSB at around 3pm on July 2, Nottinghamshire Police said.
Two men threatened the cashier with what is believed to have been a handgun and a hammer.
