CHESHIRE detectives are appealing for help in tracing a man with whom police wish to speak to in connection with an alleged Guilden Sutton armed robbery.
Cheshire Constabulary want to speak to 24-year-old Sam Clark in relation to the incident, which happened at about 9.45pm on Friday, March 30.
Clark has links in the Chester and Ellesmere Port areas.
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Beauchamp said: “We are keen to trace Sam Clark as part of the investigation into a report of a robbery on School Lane, Guilden Sutton, where reports were made to police of a firearm being sighted.
“Although no firearm was discharged and no injuries were reported, we take incidents of this nature extremely seriously and a full investigation into the circumstances is ongoing.”
Patrols in the area have been stepped up to offer local residents reassurance.
DCI Beauchamp added: “Although we do not believe Clark poses a risk to the public as a whole, he potentially has access to firearms or imitation firearms.
“We advise the public not to approach Sam Clark if sighted and report any information or sightings to Cheshire Police.
“Similarly, I would appeal to Sam himself to come forward and contact us or present himself at his nearest police station.”
The force can be contacted on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
