But after making his demands, the crook - who was wearing shades and a flat cap - handed over his gun to the cashier instead of a bag. The male cashier froze as the crook realised his mistake and made a grab for his gun before running off as the security shutters came down.

Bank staff immediately raised the alarm, but the thief escaped after stealing a bank worker's bike and pedalling off. This week bosses at the bank put up a £25,000 reward for information about the robbery.
Police say the crook is white, unshaven and 'stocky' and that he is aged in his late 20s to 30s. A police source said: "This man is not the sharpest tool in the box. The guess is that he is very inexperienced and panicked when he approached the cashier, handing over his gun instead of a bag by mistake."
