A BANK worker was dragged by her hair and threatened with a gun during a terrifying raid.

Two robbers wearing balaclavas burst into Lloyds TSB in Bolton Road, Walkden, brandishing shotguns and demanded money.

One grabbed a female employee and dragged her into a back room and threatened her and demanded cash.

The robbers fled the bank with a substantial amount of cash, believed to be around £160,000.

They jumped into a black Mercedes and drove off.

No-one was injured during the robbery, which happened shortly before 4pm on Friday.

Police later found the getaway car burnt out in nearby Harriet Street, where it is believed they switched into a dark blue car.

An investigation is currently underway to find the robbers.

They are both described as white, 6ft tall and slim build.

There may also have been a third man driving the getaway car.
