Mrs Bert has just come back from town with this bit of a story, told to her by the girl in poundstretchers, not the whole story of went went on, a couple of men were drawing money out of the hole in the wall, presumably while the robbery was taking place, one person who had money in his hand was approached by a man with an axe and told to hand it over, the man told him to go and do one and got in his car, which by the way had his children in, the axe then went through his window, the girl said his windscreen but i suppose it could have been the back one.


God help us,

Don't send Jesus,
This is no place for children.

no the fags were left on the floor.....police had covered them with a cardboard box till scientific support got there to take pictures.....dont think the bmw's window was smashed due to bomb blast.... when scientific support lady was dusting it she opened car door and it was like a fist sized hole......she dusted it, but could not see enough to see wether she got any prints

no ambulances were at the scene... which would make sence if this was the case of an axe going through a window with passengers in....the only car with a smashed window was the bmw....this was the car with the black bag and carrier bags of money in the boot

if there was children in the car then they must of been in the rear seats, so an ambulance would of been called to check for injuries (broken glass), shock etc

well staff came out from yorkshire bank with police officers opened the boot to the car, took out the bags then took them back into the bank with the police officers, they are not going to do that with someone's shopping

I got this from FaceBook - friend's mum's friend witnessed it:

1 was in the bank, and 1 was sitting in the car up the side of the bank and he saw the car reverse up to the bank and they got out with sledgehammers smashed the back in and threw in the bombs......

Sledge hammer-wielding robber and gang make off with thousands of pounds near Birkenhead Market (VIDEO)

A SLEDGE hammer-wielding robber and his gang made off with thousands of pounds in cash.
He struck as two men were putting into a night safe at the back of a bank.

Their terrified victims handed over the money, but the masked man who was joined by one or two accomplices smashed the back window of their BMW searching for more.

The robbers then tossed a petrol bomb into the Isuzu 4X4 they pulled up in, which burst into a fireball.

They struck just after 1pm today outside the Yorkshire Bank near Birkenhead Market.

it sounds like an inside job to me.... why would you rob someone in plain view of cameras and how would they no that they were depositing a large amount of money at that time... the bmw was parked rather oddly too... its a bit fishy if u ask me ... it must of been planned for them to organise being picked up by the vauxhall and to burn that in dover close also... hmmmmmm
