FOUR suspects are in custody after an alleged robbery on a cash delivery van in Hayes this afternoon (Friday).

Police helicopters were called to assist officers on the ground, and using thermal imaging, located two people hiding in a shed. Officers with dogs moved in to apprehend the pair. The remaining two suspects were later found.
