Detectives in Halifax are appealing for information following a robbery at a bookmakers on Thursday evening.
The incident happened around 8pm on Queens Road when a man entered the Coral Bookmakers. He smashed the glass screen with what is believed to be a hammer before making off with a large amount of cash in the direction of Hanson Lane.
No one was injured during the incident.
Detective Constable Will Burgess of Calderdale CID said; "I would appeal to anyone who was around the Queens Road area on Thursday evening and may have seen or heard anything suspicious to come forward.
"Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident, but clearly this has been a frightening experience for those working in the bookmakers at the time. Enquiries are ongoing."
