Three men were arrested on 3 October, as the Flying Squad wound their way down to Baker Street in connection with the robbery of a security guard as he delivered cash to a bank in central London.

At around 04.50am the guard was assaulted as he walked from his van to the HSBC Bank (pictured) in London's Baker Street.

The male robber was able to snatch a cashbox from the victim but was immediately arrested by Flying Squad officers in an intelligence led operation.

A short time later, two further men were arrested at addresses in north London on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery. All three men remain in custody at a central London police station.

Firefighters from Lambeth, Soho, Dowgate and Islington fire stations attended the incident. The Brigade was called at 1:30pm and the fire was under control within two hours. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
