THAMES Valley Police is appealing for witnesses to a robbery in Woodley.

At around 8.30am on Wednesday, January 18, officers received reports of two offenders robbing Lloyds Bank in Crockhamwell Road.

Officers attended immediately and arrested a man at the scene, who is in custody, and the other offender, described as a male, left the scene.

No weapons are believed to have been used, three members of staff suffered minor injuries but did not require hospital treatment.

Detective Inspector Iain Watkinson, of Bracknell and Wokingham CID, said: “This would have been a distressing experience for the victims in this incident.

“Detectives and uniformed police officers are at the scene conducting a meticulous investigation while also supporting those involved and offering reassurance to the community.

“I would like to appeal for anyone who witnessed this incident to contact us on 101 or via our website, quoting reference number 43230025811.

“I am particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have footage from mobile phones or dash cams.

“Enquiries suggest a blue BMW and a dark-coloured Vauxhall Zafira left the area at the time of the incident and I’m keen to identify anyone who saw these vehicles.”

Local policing area commander for Bracknell and Wokingham, Superintendent Andrew Cranidge, said: “I understand this incident may be concerning but we believe there is no wider threat to the community.

“We responded immediately, quickly made one arrest and our investigation will continue.

“There will be an increased police presence in the area while officers conduct their enquiries.

“Anyone with concerns is more than welcome to speak to one of our uniformed officers.”
