Armed robbers raid golf club
Police tape
The robbers were armed with a large knife
Two robbers armed with a knife tied up staff at a golf club in Coventry before escaping with cash.

The men, who were dressed in military-style uniforms, broke into the club in Finham just after 2300 GMT on Wednesday as the manager was closing up.

They forced him and another member of staff into an office where their hands and feet were tied.

The robbers then escaped with more than £1000 in cash, cigarettes, a mobile telephone and a wallet.

Both members of staff were shaken, but unhurt.

Police are carrying out house-to-house enquiries, but do not yet have descriptions of the two men they are looking for.
