Axe-wielding robbers grab cash at Willenhall McDonald's
Axe-wielding robbers held up a security van at McDonald's in Willenhall and escaped with cash.
The robbery happened on the restaurant's car park at 3.45pm on Thursday, and the masked men made their getaway on a moped.
A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "We're investigating an armed robbery in Crescent Road, Willenhall, at just before 3.45pm today (3 February).
"A security van driver was confronted by two masked robbers who threatened him with a metal pole before stealing a cash box.
"The offenders made off on a moped and we're carrying immediate enquiries to trace it and those involved."
The spokesman added: "Fortunately, the security worker was not injured. Anyone with information can contact us via Live Chat, or by calling 101, and quote log 2651 of 3/2/22."
Willenhall resident Martin Wedge saw the robbery and described it as "dreadful".
He said: "I have just witnessed the most dreadful hold-up on the McDonald's car park in Willenhall, where a security van was attacked by someone wielding an axe and the money was stolen.
"The perpetrator then ran over the road and made his escape on the back of a waiting motorbike. What is happening to this country?"
