Armed men strike at football club

Masked men threatened staff and customers at a football club with a shotgun and machete-style knife before fleeing with several thousand pounds.

The three raiders struck at Tamworth FC's clubhouse several hours after Saturday's FA Cup game with Norwich.

Those inside the Kettlebrook Road club were left shocked by the incident, but not badly injured.

Police are appealing for anyone who saw three men loitering near the clubhouse on Saturday night to contact them.
