POLICE were today continuing to hunt three masked raiders who threatened two security guards with a monkey wrench and a suspected shotgun.

The gang stole a large amount of cash from a Securicor van delivering to the Abbey National Bank in Deansgate on Monday. They sped off in a stolen yellow BMW at 11pm.

It was later found dumped in Goodwin Street and the gang switched cars. Police want to hear from anyone in both areas at the time who may have information.
