Two armed robbers held up a bank in Hove and escaped with a sum of cash.
The robbery happened as staff were delivering cash to the Santander branch in George Street, Hove, at around 11.30pm last night.
The robbers threatened the staff with what is believed to have been a gun, Sussex Police said.
The two staff handed over cash although the exact amount is not known at this stage.
