Staff threatened with gun in raid

Staff members were tied up and threatened with a gun when robbers broke into a pub in Nottingham and demanded cash.

The staff were in the Stratford Haven pub in West Bridgford when three men broke in at about 0130 BST on Monday.

Two employees were tied up during the raid and a third was made to open the pub safe at gunpoint.

Police have appealed for witnesses after the robbers made off on foot with a substantial amount of cash.

The offenders are described as about 20-years-old and were all wearing black hooded tops.

One of the robbers is thought to have had a gun, another a knife and the third a wooden weapon, possibly a hockey stick or a similar item.

None of the staff members, who are all men in their early 20s, were injured during the raid.
