Police are searching for a woman wearing a pair of yellow Marigold gloves after an attempted bank robbery.
It is alleged a woman burst into a TSB branch on September 23, 2022, and demanded workers to fill up a bag with cash in Birmingham.
When the staff refused to hand over the goods, the woman attacked a female worker before fleeing without the cash.
West Midlands Police then posted pictures of a woman they want to speak to on the Birmingham Police Facebook and Twitter pages.
The caption reads: “We would like to speak to her following an attempted robbery at TSB Bank in Perry Barr on September 23, shortly after 12pm.
