A serious crime was committed yesterday in the centre of London. A million pounds was stolen from the Nat East Bank in Oxford Street by three robbers carrying guns. Customers in the bank were told to lie on the floor while the robbers took the money from the cash. Fortunately, nobody was killed during the robbery, but two people were hurt. They have been in hospital since yesterday morning. We talked to a policeman after the robbery. This what he said: “We’re going to talk to all the customers in the bank at the time of the robbery and we’re going to start looking for these criminals immediately. They can’t escape from London because we’re going to close all the roads for five kilometres around Oxford Street. If the public help us, we will catch them”. If you think you can help or if you know something about the robbery, please contact the Central London Police Unit on 207 7646805.
