Two robbers armed with an AK-47 assault rifle have stolen approximately 100,000 € from a Carrefour hypermarket in Sevilla.

The two hooded men arrived at the store in the centre of Dos Hermanas at 1,30pm on Monday, and fired off a round from the gun as a warning. They managed to tie up two security guards who were carrying the store’s weekend takings to an armed van outside the store and then make their escape with two sacks of money.

Closed circuit TV cameras recorded how they made their escape in a top of the range Audi car.

On their arrival at the scene police recovered several bullets from the Kalashnikov rifle
