| Detectives are still appealing for information and have distributed posters around Wood End. | |
| A police spokesman said the posters were being used to explain the reason for the police activity and to encourage residents who know anything about the crime to come forward and help police with their inquiries. | |
| They feature images of an Audi saloon car and a motorcyclist captured by a roadside safety camera in Pennine Way, Tamworth. | |
| It is believed these vehicles, along with another motorbike, were used by the offenders to leave the scene, the spokesman added. | |
| The bank has offered a £50,000 reward to help catch and convict the robbers. |
