Robber attacks securityguard with hammer

A security guard was hit with a hammer during an attempted armed robbery in Cleethorpes.

The 63-year-old was confronted by a man in a balaclava after making a collection at a bank in Sea View Street. After twice being struck with the hammer the guard refused to hand the cash box over and shouted to passers-by to call police. The suspect escaped in a blue Vauxhall Corsa.
