Officers investigating an attempted armed robbery at a car sales business in Colwick are appealing to the public for help.
On Saturday (July 11) at around 5pm a man entered NG Car Sales in Colwick carrying what appeared to be a silver handgun.
The man threatened the business manager who was able to flee out of a back door.
The robber then left the scene empty handed.
The gun was never used and nobody was injured in the incident.
The man is described as white, around 6ft 3ins to 6ft 5ins tall, with gaunt features and a prominent nose. He is believed to be aged in his early 30s and was wearing a black beanie hat, a black jacket and black bottoms.
PC James Primrose said: “At this stage we do not know if the handgun was genuine or not. Whatever the case, the incident left the manager of the business extremely shaken.
“It is vital we trace this man as soon as possible and we would appeal to anyone in the community who thinks they may have any information at all which could assist to get in touch.”
