Thomson travel agents have been robbed at knifepoint by masked raiders.

Police were called to the shop on Lord Street, Liverpool yesterday morning following reports that masked men had tank a “substantial amount” of money, said the BBC.

They said two men, one armed with a knife, tied up three agency staff and took cash from a safe before leaving the scene in a getaway car driven by a third man.

Staff were reported to be uninjured but distressed. Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact them.

One of the robbers was described as wearing a high-visibility jacket, grey combat trousers, and the other was described as wearing black clothing.

Officers believe they fled in a silver Subaru Impreza, driven by a third man, who was wearing a sleeveless fluorescent top.
