A MAN wearing a black motorcycle helmet and brandishing what appeared to be a shotgun, burst into the High Street branch of the Halifax bank at about 3.50pm on Thursday, May 13 and threatened a woman cashier.
The raider ordered her to hand over cash but she refused and ran into a back room, locking the door. A customer then walked in and the man was forced to flee empty-handed. He was aged between 20 and 25, 5ft 4 to 5ft 6ins tall, slim and spoke with a local accent.
