ESSEX police are appealing for witnesses or information after a man threatened to rob a women in Halstead.
At about 8pm on January 7, a man attempted to rob a woman who was using a cashpoint outside Lloyds Bank in the High Street.
The man approached her and demanded money, he then continued to show her what appeared to be a handgun tucked into the top of his trousers.
He is described as 5ft 3ins, of a slim to medium build, wearing dark jogging bottoms with stripes, a black jacket and a dark balaclava.
The 27-year-old woman, of Braintree, refused to give him anything, shouted at him and he ran off down an alleyway.
Anyone with any information about who this man is, or witnessed the incident in the High Street is asked to contact detectives at Braintree CID on 0300 333 4444 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
