DETECTIVES were hunting a cool thief who snatched £5,000 in wages from a car while a company director changed a slashed tyre.
The thief pounced just 50 yards from Barclays Bank, Copy Nook, Blackburn, where the production director and another employee of Barnes Brothers had just collected the cash.
They stopped to attend to the flat tyre and while they were changing it the money disappeared from the car.
