Police are appealing for information following an armed robbery at a pub in Leeds.
At about 1.45am on Monday 4 March staff were clearing up at The Skyrack, in Otley Road, Headingley, when three masked men confronted two staff members at the rear door as they were emptying bottle bins.
The men were armed with an axe, a hammer and a knife and gathered the six staff into a group and demanded access to the safe.
They gained access to the office and stole cash from the safe before leaving the scene in a car towards Cardigan Road.
Detective Inspector James Entwistle, of Leeds District CID, said: “These men were each armed with weapons and the members of staff involved will have understandably feared for their safety during this incident.
“We are carrying out extensive enquiries to identify the suspects and would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or saw anything suspicious in the vicinity of the pub at any point around the time it happened.
“The men left the scene in a car that was waiting outside in St Michael’s Lane. It was possibly a grey BMW 1 Series hatchback that was bearing false registration plates. It drove away along St Michael’s Lane towards Cardigan Road.”
