A £15,000 reward has been offered by a bank after two masked men wielding hammers stole cash from security staff.
The robbers attacked two security guards as they delivered money to Barclays Bank, in Gosforth High Street, Newcastle, at 10pm on Thursday.
The robbers are described as being well built and more than 6ft.
They fled in a stolen silver BMW 318, registration number YA02FBS, stolen from the Whitburn area of South Tyneside on Wednesday. It was later found burned out in a lane off West Avenue, in Gosforth. It is possible they made their escape in another car driven by a third man.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Newcastle North CID on 0191-214 6555, ext 62568.
