He had entered the Lloyds TSB, in Chester Road, and placed a note in front of the cashier which demanded that she open the till.
A quantity of cash was stolen before the woman was able to activate the panic alarm.
Police have released CCTV images of the incident, which happened on Tuesday, December 20 at around 3.20pm.
Aside from the cap and black rimmed glasses, the suspect was wearing dark blue jeans at the time. He is described as being between 25 and 35-years-old and 5ft 8inches tall.
The incident is one of an apparent spate of offences to take place in the suburb in recent months. The same week two men robbed the nearby Farmfoods store, while a woman was carjacked outside Morrisons supermarket in November.
Earlier this month there were also reports of a young man being robbed at knifepoint near The Coach and Horses pub.
The crimes have prompted some residents to press for a police officer to attend this month's parish council meeting and provide an update on the situation.
If you have any information about the incident at Lloyds TSB call PC Ian Akehurst on 101.
