ARMED robbers targeted a shop just moments away from Bromley police station yesterday (July 21).

The three men burst into the Money Shop, High Street, Bromley, brandishing a handgun at around 5.20pm.

They ran out of the door with two bags of cash but one of the bags snagged on the door causing the contents to spill on the ground.

The raiders escaped in a green VW Golf and were chased by police in a patrol car to the estate just off the Old Bromley Road, Downham.

One man was arrested at the car, another was found nearby and the third man was arrested at his home address.

It is not yet known how much money was taken in the robbery.

Two youths, aged 17 and 18, and a 26-year-old man are being held at Bromley police station where they are being questioned about their alleged involvement in the robbery
