Good afternoon. Here is the six o’clock news. I’m Frank Lane.

We have just received news about an a_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ robbery in the city centre. It seems that a gang of four robbers has been caught by the police outside the Metropolitan Bank this morning. We have some more information from our crime correspondent, Gill Parkes, who is at the scene. Gill, can you tell us more about what has happened there today?

‘Thanks Frank. Well it seems that the gang was a_ _ _ _ _ _ _ at 11.00 o’clock this morning as they left the bank. Apparently they had been planning this raid for the last three months. During that time, members of the gang had been f_ _ _ _ _ _ _ by the police who had s_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ that a major crime was about to happen. When the gang left the bank with a large sum of money they were met by police who had surrounded the building. When the police ordered the criminals to stop, shots were fired but luckily no-one was injured. The four members of the gang are now being q_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ by the police at the local police station. They have been c_ _ _ _ _ _ and are due to appear in c_ _ _ _ tomorrow lunchtime and it is almost certain that they will plead g_ _ _ _ _. If f_ _ _ _ guilty, it is likely that they will be s_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ to at least fifteen years in prison as this is the minimum sentence for armed robbery. That’s all for the moment, back to you in the studio, Frank.’
