Man robs Salisbury shop till after failing to scam cashier
Wiltshire Police is now investigating what happened on Silver Street
A man's taken money out of a Salisbury shop till, after grabbing the cashier's wrist.
The robbery happened at Holland and Barrett on Silver Street at around 3.00pm on Friday 10th March, with the details just released.
Before the theft, the 'customer' attempted what's called a 'ringing the changes' scam.
That's where a suspect asks to exchange cash into smaller change, using well-rehearsed scripts and sleight of hand to confuse staff members.
In this instance, the cashier detected the scam before the robbery, with £20 stolen.
A CCTV picture from the store has been released by Wiltshire Police.
Officers are asking for our help to identify the person pictured.
If you can help, you're asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 54230026748.
