POLICE are hunting two men after a Securicor van was robbed outside a bank in a Kent town.

A security guard was delivering cases to Lloyds TSB on Broadstairs High Street at around 11.45am on Friday when a people carrier with two men in it pulled up.

Police say a man wearing a balaclava and carrying a black handgun got out and robbed the guard of one of the cases. He then got back into the vehicle, which sped off towards the train station.

The people carrier was later found abandoned in Albert Street in the town.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 01843 222194 or Kent Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
