BOSSES at National Westminster Bank offered a £15,000 reward after armed robbers carried out a daring raid on the bank's Darwen branch in broad daylight.
No-one was hurt during the raid, but the two men escaped with an undisclosed sum of money.
Darwen CID were investigating links with other bank robberies in Lancashire, including one in Colne earlier in the day.
