Inquiries were being made by police forces throughout Yorkshire last night to trace the raiders who broke into the Yorkshire Egg Producers’ packing station in Camwal Road, Harrogate, used explosives to open the safe, and stole about £2,000 in notes.
Two or three men may have carried out the theft. They entered the building through a skylight and left by a back door overlooking the Harrogate- York railway line.
