Cambridge Police are seeking a man following the attempted robbery of a bank in the town this morning.

Sergeant Gordon Grantham said the incident happened about 9.30am when a man walked into the Westpac Bank on Victoria St.

"He's walked up to a teller and presented a note demanding money. When the teller has gone to confer with another staff member it appears the offender has panicked and fled the premises."

Police are currently reviewing security footage of the incident to obtain a detailed description of the offender.

So far the only information confirmed is that he was a male wearing a cream coloured button up shirt, a dark cap and sunglasses.

Anyone with any information on this morning's incident is asked to contact the Cambridge Police on 07 8275531.
