WATCH: CCTV released of armed robbery at Kirkcaldy TSB

It happened in January

Published 13th Jun 2016

Police Scotland has released new CCTV footage of a terrifying armed robbery at a TSB branch in Kirkcaldy earlier this year.

Two men burst into the bank on Dunearn Drive on the 29th of January, brandishing a gun and a crowbar.

They threatened staff - and ended up fleeing the scene with a sum of money.

The pair - who're yet to be identified - made their escape on bicycles and were spotted a short time later on Cawdor Crescent.

The first man is described as white, in his late 20’s or early 30’s with dark stubble on his face. He was wearing a dark coloured baseball cap and dark coloured clothing.

The second man's described as white, 5ft 9ins tall, around 30-years-old, of medium build and with stubble.

He wore a dark coloured baseball cap, dark blue/grey hooded top and dark coloured trainers. He also wore dark blue jogging bottoms with a distinctive white coloured motif running partially down one leg.

Subsequent inquiries have established the jogging bottoms are made by Polish manufacturer Mordex - a brand associated with bodybuilding.

It's believed at least one of the men is Eastern European.

Detective Inspector Colin Robson of Fife Division Crime Management who is leading this investigation said: “As a result of our enquiries we are now in a position to release this footage to the public and it’s my hope that this will help identify the suspects or even jog memories for people who were in the area.

“I can reassure the local community that we’re working tirelessly to track down these men and will exhaust all avenues of inquiry.

“While the answer to their identity remains unknown, it may lie in the local community and I would urge anyone who views this footage, which is being shared nationally, and who recognises them or their description to contact police immediately.”
