Appeal for Witnesses: Attempted Robbery, Halifax Bank, Elland

    Police are appealing for anyone who may have filmed an attempted robbery at a bank in Elland to get in contact. 

    Officers are appealing for witnesses after the incident at the Halifax Bank on Southgate at 4.30pm which took place on Wednesday 11th of January. 

    Three men wearing fluorescent jackets and face coverings entered the premises and were believed to be armed with a crowbar and sledgehammers. They threatened staff and caused internal damage. 

    They then made off empty handed in a black vehicle.

    Detective Chief Inspector Chris Gibson of Calderdale CID, said: "I would appeal for anyone who saw this to get in contact.
