Robbers strike at men's club

TWO women cleaners were locked in a room by robbers at Dover Working Men's Club at the weekend.

Three men entered the club, in London Road, between 7.10 and 7.30am on Sunday when the two cleaners were the only people in the building.

The men locked the women in a room and then searched the club, causing an estimated £750 worth of damage, and stealing a quantity of cash.

Exactly how much was stolen has not been revealed.

Hoods

Neither of the women was injured, and they raised the alarm once the men had left.

The offenders were all described as white men wearing hooded tops.

The first was less than six feet tall, medium build, older than a teenager, wearing a dark waist length jacket with a hood.

The second man was medium to stocky build, wearing a hooded jacket, and the third man was shorter than the other two, with a light coloured hooded top. All three had their hoods up.
