An armed robber who stole around £400-worth of discontinued £20 notes asked police for advice shortly before handing himself in.

Roy Sinclair pulled a knife on a cashier at a Lloyds Bank in Dartford high street, Kent, and threatened to kill her before forcing her to hand over the money during the robbery on 4 February.

The 43-year-old, from Sydenham, south east London, entered the bank at around 3pm and was seen by members of staff wandering around the building.

When a cashier called to offer help, he walked behind their counter, pulled out a knife, and held it close to her body and demanded money, telling her: "No alarms or I’ll kill you.”
