Four masked men rob cash from Hove bank

Four masked men – armed with a machete and an angle grinder – are believed to have stolen thousands after raiding a bank.

Officers were called to Santander in George Street, Hove at around 11.40pm last night.

It is believed the gang smashed their way through the bank’s glass doors.

The suspects stole a ‘cassette’ used in the cash machines but it is not yet known how much money was inside.

The suspects then drove off down Haddington Street in a blue Volkswagen.
