Masked men escape with bingo cash

Two masked men armed with a hammer and a crowbar have escaped with cash after a raid on a bingo hall in Leeds.

The men threatened staff and demanded money at Tivoli Bingo in Acre Street, Middleton, on Monday morning before driving off in a white van.

The N-registered van was reported as stolen from Hunsworth Lane, Bradford, on Sunday night, police said.

It was later found abandoned and burnt out in the Bodmin area of Middleton. Police are appealing for witnesses.
