“It will take some time for them to come to terms with it, and it is vital that we track down the two men responsible and bring them to justice.

“We hope that by showing this footage, someone might recognise the walk or the mannerisms of the offenders, and we want to hear from anyone with information, no matter how insignificant they think it is.”

The robbery took place between 5.20am and 5.35am on Thursday, September 11.
