A GANG of armed robbers burst into a pub and threatened staff.
One of the raiders is thought to have been brandishing a handgun.
Four balaclava-clad men went into The Nag's Head, New Hey Road, Ainley Top, at 11.30pm on Monday.
They demanded cash before fleeing.
A number of Calderdale pubs have been targeted by raiders in the past.
In May, the Black Horse Inn, Clifton, Brighouse, was robbed. The landlord was locking up for the night when he was jumped by two men.
And in March raiders struck at the Tipp Inn, Atlas Mill Road, Brighouse, while drinkers were still in the pub. The robbers wielded crowbars and demanded cash and customers' possessions.
Just days later, robbers carrying a gun and knife, grabbed thousands of pounds from terrified restaurant staff at the Ainley Top Toby Carvery.
The manager and another member of staff were walking to the car park with the weekend's takings when they were confronted by two men.
Halifax CID are appealing for witnesses or anyone who has any information about the latest incident to contact PC Angie Barr on 01422 337085 or CrimeStop-pers anonymously 0800 555111.
