A HOODED robber waved a gun at bookmakers' staff before making off with hundreds of pounds in cash.
Police said the man visited Coral Racing just before 9pm on Saturday.
He entered the shop on New Road, Chippenham, wearing a puffa jacket with the hood pulled over his face.
The robber went over to the counter where he produced what appeared to be a handgun, threatened the member of staff behind the till and demanded money.
The man made off with several hundred pounds in cash, meeting another man by the back door of the shop. The pair fled in the direction of Chippenham town centre.
Anyone with information should call Wiltshire Police on 101 and quote crime reference number 54190088731.
