One of them was armed with a kitchen knife to intimidate the bank staff while his associate stood guard at the entrance.

They fled on foot having pocketed €500 with none of the employees being injured during their ordeal.

The Guardia Civil and the Torrevieja Policia Local have been looking for the robbers, but so far without success.
