A cash deliveryman has described the moment he was 'taken hostage' and trapped alone in a shop with a robber who threatened to shoot him. The guard, whose identity is being protected, was about to reload a cash machine when he was ambushed.
He told MEN: "We'd pulled up to our third to last drop of the day. I looked to my left...there were a guy there, just stood with a gun to my head, demanding that I give him the money.
"I had to reply 'in order to get into the box I need to get into the safe', so he said 'hurry up'. So I radioed through to my colleague who at the time didn't know what was going on, to give me the code so I could get into the safe.
