TWO thugs have made off with a "large sum" of cash after an early-morning raid at a Glasgow bank.

At around 2.10am, two staff who were delivering cash to the Clydesdale Bank premises on Baillieston's Main Street were approached by two men.

One of the suspects assaulted one of the staff members before the pair made their getaway in a green Vauxhall Adam car.

This vehicle was recovered a short distance away.

They are believed to have then got into a silver-coloured car and left the area.

Police say they are trying to determine any link between a similar incident at a bank in Riddrie on December 17.

The staff member was not seriously injured and did not require medical treatment.

The suspects are both described as speaking with Scottish accents, with one man of stocky build wearing a grey tracksuit and the other of slimmer build wearing dark-coloured clothing.

Detective Sergeant Graham McCreadie from Govan CID said: “Fortunately the staff members were not injured but have been left understandably shaken by the incident.

“The robbery happened while many would have been asleep but I would ask that anyone who has private CCTV in the area checks their systems for any footage of the incident, the suspects, or the vehicles prior to, or after, the robbery.

“I would also ask that any motorists using Glasgow Road or driving in the Baillieston area overnight check their dash-cam devices for either the Vauxhall Adam or silver vehicle around the premises or around the time of the incident.

“We’re continuing to investigate an incident of a similar nature at a bank on Smithycroft Road on Tuesday, December 17 and are seeking to establish any link between these incidents.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact police via 101 quoting incident number 0410 of December 27, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
