Masked raiders
The men were captured on film by security cameras
Two masked men armed with guns escaped with thousands of pounds after threatening staff in an office.

The pair forced open a door at Farmgate Fresh Poultry at Fiveways Road, Hatton, Warwick, on Friday and went into a room where two people were counting money.

They fled with cash when the farmer at the premises blasted his own shotgun into the air from an upstairs window.

The offenders, who were captured on security cameras, were driven away by a third person in a black Vauxhall Astra.

One of the offenders was described as being about 5ft 9ins tall and slim. He was wearing dark or black clothing and carrying a double- barrelled shotgun.

Another offender is described as about 5ft 10ins to 5ft 11ins tall and slim. He was also wearing dark clothing and was carrying a silver pistol type hand gun.

There are no details about the car driver.

Police want to hear from anyone who saw a black Vauxhall Astra in the area. Anyone with information is asked to call Warwick CID.
