LLOYDS Bank is offering a £25,000 reward following a "robbery" at its Farnham town centre branch on Monday afternoon.

The police were called at around 3pm today (April 30) to reports of a distraction theft at Lloyds in Castle Street, Farnham.

Two suspects entered the bank, and distracted the cashier before taking money. The suspects then left the bank in what is believed to be a white car. A silver Mercedes saloon was also seen near the incident.

The two suspects are described as:

*A black male, aged between 40 to 50, approximately 5ft 6” tall, flat cap, black male, wearing a black leather jacket, glasses with black thick rims, white coloured shirt, jeans, black shoes, and walks with a hobble.

* And another black male, aged between 40 to 50, approximately 5 ft 7” tall, short shaven hair, wearing a blue or black beanie hat, dark coloured outdoor jacket, dark trousers.

Surrey Police added no injuries were sustained, and no weapons are believed to be used during the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to call the police on 101 or report online at https://www.surrey.police.uk/contact-us/report-online/ quoting P17/P18098789.

Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111 - or Lloyds Banking Group directly on 03456060707.

The bank was closed on Monday following the incident, but a teller at the bank told a Herald employee that she expected the branch would reopen as usual on Tuesday.

Three marked police cars were parked outside the bank in Castle Street at around 4pm, and a note on the inside door of the branch suggests a £25,000 reward is being offered in return for any information that leads to an arrest.

The note adds: "Reward. Robbery at this branch. A reward of up to £25,000 may be paid to any member of the public who provides information in relation to a serious crime against the Lloyds Banking Group."

A Lloyds Bank spokesperson said: "We are aware of an incident which took place today at the Lloyds Bank branch in Farnham and are assisting the police with their enquiries. We expect the branch to open tomorrow."
