Police have spent the evening in Chippenham town centre appealing for new information about last week's ram raid on a bank.

At around 6.45pm last Monday a silver Ford Focus was driven through the front window of Halifax in High Street.

Three men got out, grabbed cash boxes from security staff making a delivery, and made off in a black Volkswagen van.

This evening officers spent several hours stopping anyone walking past the building society to ask if they were in the area at the same time last week.

PC Emma Higgins said: "We are just talking to members of the public to find out if anyone has any more information.

"There might be someone walking past who saw something last week.

"Even if it seems like a small piece of information it might be important."

There were also officers in St Mary's Street, where the robbers had parked their getaway car.

Anyone with any information can call Wiltshire Police on 0845 4087000 and ask for DS Mark Kent.
