Man robbed £5,000 from Leeds Yorkshire Building Society then threw it into the air saying he'd 'won the Lottery'

A man robbed a bank of £5,000 then threw the money into the air and told people he had "won the lottery."

Kieran McIlvenny, 49, was released on bail after being arrested on suspicion of taking a car without consent on August 19 last year when he went into Argos in Leeds city centre and bought a knife set.

McIlvenny then binned all of the knives but one - a 12cm bread knife - and took it with him to the Yorkshire Building Society in Briggate.
