Witness appeal following bank robbery in Walton-on-Thames

We’re appealing for witnesses after a robbery at the Nationwide bank on Church Street in Walton-on-Thames last night (29 May).

A group of around six people forced entry into the bank close to 11.30pm, before threatening a member of security staff with weapons. The group stole £2500 in cash and fled the scene in a black/dark grey Audi RS6, which is believed to have been stolen and was later found abandoned in Chertsey.

The group were described as wearing all black clothing and balaclavas.

Detective Constable Marita Wells, who is investigating the case, said: “This was an incredibly serious incident which will no doubt have left the local community concerned.

“We are working at pace to identify and apprehend the suspects and local residents will notice a continued police presence in the area whilst we carry out our enquiries.

“If you have CCTV covering the area, or if you were in the area at the time and may have information which could assist our enquiries, please contact us straightaway.”
