TWO men threatened staff at a bank today in a terrifying armed robbery.
The pair burst into Natwest Bank on King Street in Knutsford shortly before 12.50pm.
A spokesman for Cheshire police said: "Two men entered the bank and threatened staff before leaving the area on a black motorbike with cash. No members of staff are believed to have been injured.
"Police have conducted a thorough search of the area and enquiries are ongoing."
Armed police officers were at the scene as King Street was cordoned off.
