DRAMATIC CCTV footage of a terrifying armed bank raid in Horden has been obtained by The Northern Echo.
The video above shows an unsuspecting security guard taking cash into the TSB bank in Horden, County Durham, followed by two men who jump from a silver car brandishing weapons, believed to be crowbars and a wooden stick.
VIDEO: In this video issued by police the robbers are captured on CCTV inside the bank
Police received a 999 call at 10.45am during the robbery on Wednesday, September 21, and the video shows the first officer on the scene, dressed in a stab vest, draw a baton before he enters the bank.
The officer then leaves the bank and radios information to colleagues.
As the robbers escape with cash to a waiting getaway car nearby, the officer gives chase.
A silver Ford Mondeo was later found burnt out on the Cotsford Park Estate and detectives are hunting three men behind the raid, which left four women injured.
