Police are searching for four men after a robbery at a Derbyshire betting shop.

The men escaped with what police have described as a "significant" amount of cash from Coral Bookmakers in Nottingham Road, Ilkeston.

The gang of four forced the side door of the premises at about 0400 GMT and stole the safe, police said.

One of the men escaped in a dark-coloured jeep-style vehicle in the direction of Stapleford. The other three ran off along Little Hallam Lane.

Police have asked for witnesses to contact them.
