Attempted robbery in Market Place, Boston

We are appealing for witnesses following an attempted robbery outside Barclay’s bank in Market Place, Boston, on Tuesday 29 March.

We were called to reports that the victim had left the bank having withdrawn a large sum of money at around 9.35am.

They were approached by a man who made threats towards them and demanded the cash be handed over. He is described as white, mid to late 20s, wearing dark clothes and a black face mask.

The victim managed to run back to the bank and the suspect is reported to have got into a grey Nissan Pathfinder before driving off towards John Adams Way.
