£1 MILLION ROBBERY

THE POLICE are looking for three men after a bank robbery in West London today. The robbery happened at the National Bank in City Road at five o'clock this morning. More than £1 million was stolen from the safe. The men escaped in a red Ford Escort van. They were seen, as they were running away, by Mrs Carter. She was going to work when the robbery happened. 'I can't describe the men, because they were wearing stockings over their heads,' she said. 'But two of them were tall and the other one was short. They were all wearing jeans and black jackets.'

Two hours later the red Escort was found by a group of children. None of the money was in the van. The police are now searching it for fingerprints.
