POLICE investigating an armed robbery at a Dudley High Street bank have released CCTV images of a man they wish to trace.

The incident on Wednesday October 5 saw a man walk into the Royal Bank of Scotland with a large kitchen knife, demanding cash from the staff who then handed over a considerable sum.

He then left the branch and crossed over towards Lloyds Bank before heading down an alleyway towards King Street.

Anyone with information about the robbery or the identity of the suspect - or who may have seen a man leaving the area - is asked to contact Detective Constable David Laver by emailing d.laver@west-midlands.pnn.police.uk
