Officers were called to the top of the Parade just after 8.30am on Friday morning where they found the silver Kia partly through the building and on the pavement.

The car had mounted a deep step off the pavement and shattered a pane of glass on the building’s frontage after driving through the shutters.

A group of four men who were inside the car got away with two ATM casettes. It is not known how much cash was inside.

The men then sped off in a silver Vauxhall Astra which was found abandoned on Morrell Street later that morning.

It is thought the four then got into a third car, a dark-grey saloon car and drove off.

A police spokesperson said: “Police were called just after 8.30am to reports of a robbery at the Coventry Building Society on the Parade.
