Re: Armed robbery at HSBC accrington
 

It's still cordoned off by police atm

Re: Armed robbery at HSBC accrington

Re: Armed robbery at HSBC accrington
 

female security got assaulted but nothing serious

Re: Armed robbery at HSBC accrington
 

Not sure how reliable this info is but the chap at the caravan takeaway by the market, suggested that an armed robbery was carried out at the HSBC bank and the robbers got away with half a million pound!

Even if no-one was hurt, I'm sure it must have been extremely frightening for the securicor guards.

Until we get something definite could I just suggest that they got away with enough to clear the national debt?

Re: Armed robbery at HSBC accrington
 

Got to agree about how frightening it would have been. It is serious whether anybody was hurt or not:(

Re: Armed robbery at HSBC accrington
 

the police van was still there outside the bank about 5pm ... saw it when i was down town ...

Re: Armed robbery at HSBC accrington
 

What do you mean by 'female security got assaulted but nothing serious'? a person has been assaulted, i think that's damn serious. Must be traumatic for the staff. Hope they soon get the person/people who did it.

Re: Armed robbery at HSBC accrington
 

I think that Mani's referring to reports in the press that a security guard was assaulted, but not seriously injured.

I was in town yesterday i caught the 10-45am bus so must have just missed all the action.
but going home the bus had to divert and come down Eagle st so i saw all the Police tape and the place was swarming with coppers and police cars.

Re: Armed robbery at HSBC accrington
 

What a clever idea, no one would expect you to use a bus as a getaway vehicle :p:D

Re: Armed robbery at HSBC accrington

No, it isn't a suprise.

Sadly we've had many nouveau riche types move here in recent years, when suddenly coming into a fortune.

No surprise there, either.

Re: Armed robbery at HSBC accrington
 

When that yet becomes does, that's when they come to cart you off for good, to live with all the other nutters who think they're Jesus.

We can wait...

Re: Armed robbery at HSBC accrington
 

Well, at least they can't cart me off to Ossy because that place is already full of nutters.
