New images of bike duo after Kirkcaldy bank raid

It’s the latest development in the hunt for the men who staged the dramatic raid on the TSB in Templehall.

Staff at the Dunearn Branch were threatened with a crowbar and hand gun, and the attackers made off with a four-figure sum of money.

Police are now focussing on two men on bikes they say may be able to help.

They released images of them cycling in the area last week - and have now published further CCTV footage of them walking to their bikes.

The investigation team has taken numerous calls from members of the public since the raid, and hope the pictures will prompt more people to come forward.

Detective Inspector Colin Robson of Fife Division crime management who is leading the inquiry, said: ““The public response to our recent appeals has been tremendous and I’m extremely grateful to everyone who has contacted police.

“We continue to pursue various lines of inquiry in relation to this extremely serious offence and officers are working tirelessly to trace those responsible.’’

He added: “Those who have been in touch have been extremely forthcoming and willing to help in any way they can and I can assure them that we will leave no stone left unturned.

“Our investigation is ongoing and we’re working tirelessly in an effort to trace those responsible.

“I again urge anyone who has information in relation to this matter to please get in touch with police as soon as possible.”

The police have received numerous calls from the public since publishing pictures of the duo on their bikes in the area at the time of the robbery.

Anyone with relevant information should contact Fife CID on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
