Police are appealing for information following a report of an attempted robbery at a jewellers' store in Harrogate.
Detectives have released CCTV images of a man they'd like to speak with after the incident earlier this week.
The robbery was reported on Tuesday (9th April) at around 1.50pm.
A man entered Ogden’s store on James Street and attempted to steal two high-value watches.
A police spokesperson said:
"A brave member of staff tackled the suspect who fled from the store, discarding the two watches as he went.
