POLICE are hunting two men after an attempted robbery at a bank on Tuesday.
A white man and his black accomplice tried to snatch a cash bag from a Securicor guard at Barclays Bank, High Street, Penge, at about 11.30am.
The guard managed to stop them from stealing any money and they fled the scene towards Southey Street.
The bank was closed for the rest of yesterday while forensics officers looked for evidence and is expected to reopen today.
A spokesman said: "There was an incident at the branch and we are working with the police to catch the people responsible.
"We apologise to customers for any inconvenience."
Call investigating officer Detective Constable Mike Nolan on 020 7232 6530 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 if you have any information about the robbery.
