CASH was stolen from the safe of a High Wycombe bookmakers after men forced their way in through a fire exit and forced a cashier to the floor.

Two men broke into the Coral bookies in Cressex Road via a fire door on the side of the building at 10.15pm on Sunday.

They forced the lone member of staff – a 20-year-old woman – to the floor before leading her to the counter area where they stole an undisclosed amount of money from the safe, police said today.

The second man is described as black and was wearing a dark jacket with grey on the shoulders and inside the hood.

He was wearing Adidas trainers with white stripes, a light coloured scarf and was carrying a black holdall.
