It's feared two men who launched a terrifying armed robbery on a bank in Kirkcaldy have fled the UK.

A TSB branch on the town's Dunearn Drive was targeted by two men, dressed all in black at 10.40am on Friday the 29th of January.

The pair - who were wielding a handgun and crowbar - threatened staff, before making off with a four figure sum of cash.

The men made their escapes on push bikes, fleeing along Alford Avenue.

Since then a major investigation has been ongoing - but it's now feared that the men have left the country.

At least one of the suspects spoke with an Eastern European accent - and police have contacted both Interpol and border agencies.

Authorities had previously released CCTV images of the men and through these pictures officers discovered one of the men was wearing clothing by a Polish manufacturer.

Detectives are still appealing for information as they try to find out exactly who the suspects are.
