Two in custody after raid at Duston's Nationwide

Two men have been arrested after Duston's Nationwide Building Society was raided in the early hours of this morning (Sunday).

There was a large police presence in Duston after the break-in, which took place at the Main Road branch near Meeting Lane between 1.30am and 1.45am.

The offenders forced entry to the building society and then fled but a police dog tracked them to a nearby location.

Two men, both aged 30 and from Northampton, were arrested and taken into custody, where they remain this evening.

One taxi driver who dropped a passenger off nearby shortly after the incident described "lots of officers running around" with multiple police cars, vans and the dog unit at the scene.

Anyone with information should contact police on 101.
