Two women were left trapped inside a Barclays bank after a security guard accidentally locked them in.
Sarah Agbiji and pal Renita Ruta filmed themselves as they frantically tried to alert shoppers walking by the Manchester branch yelling: “We’ve been locked in the bank. We don’t work here”.
Sarah said she stopped by the Market Street, Manchester branch for a meeting with staff on Saturday evening but claims they were forgotten about in an upstairs room as the doors closed for the day.
In a video posted to Tiktok, the pair recorded their phone calls as they contacted Barclays HQ and Greater Manchester Police but were stuck until someone could arrive with a key.
She then tried to call Barclays and said: “How do you leave people? What sort of security breach is that?”
She tried to call Greater Manchester Police but was put on hold: “I just told them what happened. We had a booking and they’ve gone and looked everywhere.”
As the pair waited, they filmed an after-hours tour of the branch, showing the room they were in when they said security had shut the doors on them.
