5 000 pounds sterling BANK ROBBERY IN THE CITY
There was a bank robbery in central London yesterday. Just before closing time yesterday, a man entered the Butcher Street
Branch of the National Westminster Bank. He was carrying a shotgun, and wearing a stocking mask over his head. There were only a
few customers in the bank at the time. He made them lie on the floor, and forced the cashier to put the money in a sack. As he was
leaving, the security guard tried to ring the alarm. The robber shot him and the guard is now in St Patrick’s Hospital. Surgeons are
trying to save his life. Last night the police arrested a man in South London. He is now helping the police with their enquiry.
STATEMENT OF WITNESS

age 36 occupation car salesman
address Flat 4, Paradise Court, Ealing, London. W. 5.
This statement (consisting of one page each signed by me), is true to the best of my knowledge and belief and I make it knowing
that, if it is tendered in evidence, I shall be liable to prosecution if I have wilfully stated in it anything which I know to be false or do
not believe to be true.
On Tuesday afternoon I was at Ascot races with my girlfriend, Isadora Bell. We left my flat at 1 o’clock and drove to Ascot. We
didn’t stop for petrol but we had lunch in a pub. I don’t remember the name of the pub, but I was somewhere between London and
Ascot. We had beet and sandwiches outside. We arrived at the race – track at 1.55, in time for the first race. We stayed there until the
last race at 5 o’clock. We were very lucky. I won a lot of money but I can’t remember exactly how much. That’s why I had a lot of
money in my flat when the police came to my flat at 6 o’clock. I left Isadora in Central London. She wanted to buy some clothes in
Oxford Street. I don’t know where she is now.
