Crimewatch appeal for Kirkcaldy bank robbers

A televised appeal has been made to trace two Kirkcaldy bank robbers.

Police have gone nationwide as they continue efforts to trace the perpetrators who raided the branch of TSB in the Templehall area of the town at gunpoint in January.

The duo have remained on the run ever since, and on Wednesday morning an appeal was made as part of the BBC Crimewatch Roadshow programme in the hope of tracing those responsible.

Several customers were in the small bank branch on Dunearn Drive on the morning of Friday January 29.

After brandishing weapons at staff, money was stolen and the thieves made off on a pair of mountain bikes.

Police disclosed earlier this month that the pair had escaped with more than £11,000 from the bank.

Efforts have been made to try and establish profiles of the suspects, with one said to have spoken with an Eastern European accent.

However, police have previously stated fears that duo may have fled abroad in the five months following the raid.

Anybody with information can contact Police Scotland on 101, Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, or the Crimewatch show on 08000 468 999.
