Do you know this man?
Police want to speak to him as they investigate an armed raid on a village travel agency.
On Thursday a man, brandishing a small kitchen knife, entered the Thomas Cook travel agency in Slaithwaite at 9.10am and made demands for money.
Staff, who had just opened the Kiln Hill branch for the day, told him police were being called and the man left the travel agency empty-handed. Staff were unhurt in the incident.
Det Sgt Nigel Gittins, of Kirklees District CID, said: “Thankfully no-one was injured and no property taken, but understandably this man’s actions have caused significant distress to the staff members present.
“We have a CCTV image from the vicinity of this offence of a man who we would like to identify and speak to in connection with this incident.”
The man is described as white, aged in his early 40s, approximately 5ft 10ins tall, of medium height and large build. He was wearing a long black coat, a beanie-type hat and was wearing latex gloves.
Anyone who recognises the man or with any other information about the incident is asked to contact Kirklees CID on 101.
