Crime Reporting Sheet
The first time I knew anything was wrong was when the one with glasses shouted 'Stop moving, or the lady gets hurt'. Then I saw that the one with the beard - he looked very ordinary - had a gun to the lady's back. The leader (1 assumed) came to me and told me quietly to let the third man behind the counter. This I did. He was small, with a moustache, and he told me to lie face down. This I did. He then proceeded to open up some of the drawers - he obviously knew what he was doing since he did this without keys - and handed the money across the counter to his friend.

Formal Summary
I
At 16.25 on the above date, three subjects entered the premises. One was armed, and held
the last genuine customer in the bank hostage, while another demanded money from a cashier. Bags of money were given to the two unarmed subjects, and all three exited the bank. A fourth subject met them with a car, and all four drove off at high speed.
Witness Statements
Mrs. Hilda Cam (customer)
I made it to the bank a few minutes before they were due to close. I thought I would be the last customer, but just before they stopped letting people in, three men arrived and queued behind me.
As the lady in front left the queue I heard some movement behind me. Suddenly a hand came round me and held me around the mouth I also felt an object sticking into my back. One of the three men he came forward and shouted "Nobody move, or this lady gets hurt". It was only then that I knew the object in my back was a gun.
It went very quiet for a few seconds, then the man who shouted spoke to the cashier. I couldn't hear what he said, but the the third man, who was much older - he was rather small and frail, and he had a moustache - was let in behind the counter. A few minutes later he started handing money bags over the counter to the man who spoke.
The man who spoke wore thick glasses, and he had a strange lilt to his voice, though I couldn't place it. He was very thin, but wiry , if you see what I mean. It all finished very quickly. The small man came out, and he and the speaker ran out. Then I was let go of, and I think I must have fainted at that point.
Mr. Brian Forbes (cashier)
He then told me not to move, said 'C'mon taff, and they all ran for it. Once I thought the armed man was out I ran to the door. I was too late to do anything, but I did see that there were four men in the car - so they must have had a driver with the car , waiting. The one I hadn't seen before was neatly dressed, and although it was hard to tell, he looked taller than the others.
