Armed bikers rob security guard
Two armed men robbed a security guard at a cash and carry store in Northampton on Tuesday.

The Securicor guard was carrying a cash bag outside Booker's in Crow Lane at about 1250 BST when he was approached by two men on a motorcycle.

One of the men demanded the cash bag and threatened the security guard with what police believe was a screwdriver.

After a struggle the men made off with the bag which officers said contained a "considerable" amount of money.

Anyone with information about the theft is asked to contact Northampton police.
