Two arrested over Newcastle casino raid

It is not known how much cash was taken

Two men are being questioned by detectives after they were arrested in connection with an armed raid at a Tyneside casino.

The men, aged 44 and 31, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery. They were later bailed.

A security guard was threatened with a shotgun before a large amount of cash was stolen outside the Grosvenor Casino in Newcastle on Thursday.

Police said a stolen white Audi 4x4 was found on fire after the raid.

The two men were arrested at addresses in Newcastle and Sunderland.

Northumbria Police believe a grey BMW 320 with the false registration NE08 VWG was also used by those responsible.

Ch Supt Neil Adamson said the force needed more witnesses to come forward.
