Avon and Somerset Police are asking for help to track down a man who attempted to rob a convenience store in Southdown Road in Bath on Good Friday, 14 April.
A woman was working alone in the shop when the man entered at about 4.10pm. His face was covered with a black balaclava, his head was covered with a hood and he was carrying a knife with a four inch blade.
He asked the woman to put money in the bag, but made off empty-handed when she pressed her panic alarm button. He ran off on foot towards Sladebrook Road.
The suspect is described as being 5ft 7ins tall and slim. He wore a blue hooded top, grey jogging bottoms and black gloves and was carrying a white Tesco-branded carrier bag.
Officers are keen to hear from anyone with any information about the incident, or who was in the Southdown Road area on Friday afternoon, 14th April.
Anyone who can help is asked to get in touch through the police website, or by calling 101, quoting reference 5217082885.
Alternatively ring the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. They never ask your name or trace your call. You could even qualify for a reward and still remain anonymous.
