POLICE are appealing for witnesses after an attempted armed robbery in Southampton.
A man brandishing a gun burst into Coral bookmakers in Burgess Road, Bassett where he pointed the firearm at staff and demanded cash.
Workers however confronted the man and gave chase out of the shop and the robber made off towards the Flowers estate.
It's the second hold-up in a bookies in the area in the last two weeks.
An armed gang made off with £1,000 stuffed in a bag when a gunpoint robbery took place at BetFred in High Road Swaythling on June 30.
The man in the latest incident is believed to be around 20 years old and was wearing dark clothing and a balaclava.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police in Bitterne on 0845 045 4545.

Perhaps they will turn up at a police station and after dragging the dollops away from the CCTV cams and gets them to arrest them and confess in freshly drawn blood otherwise they will be yet another unsolved crime for the police database. Sad. They may have felt some sick pride in being up there with the 88 Seatbelt Gang and above all the Mickey Mouse Lighter Mob
