Bedfordshire Police are searching for a man wanted in connection with a bank robbery in Luton last week.
A suspicious device was used in the robbery of the Co-Operative Bank in Alma Street, where an amount of cash was stolen.
Investigators are looking for 64-year-old Ion Craciunescu, who is Romanian, in connection with the crime.
On Friday (December 7) officers responded to the bank around 11.40am, evacuating the scene and putting up a cordon.
The explosive device was examined and found not to be viable, police said.
Craciunescu was thought to have been spotted on CCTV at Luton Railway Station a short time later, where he is thought to have boarded a train towards London.
A number of lines of enquiry are being followed, and anyone with information on Craciunescu’s whereabouts or who recognises the man pictured, is urged to contact police.
Anyone with information is asked call Bedfordshire Police on 101, quoting reference number 40/42528/18 or by visiting the force’s website.
Alternatively, call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
