A THIEF pulled what appeared to be a handgun on a man in High Wycombe after trying to steal a chain from his neck.
The 31-year-old victim was standing in a car park outside the Wycombe Badminton Centre and Hilltop Community Centre in Crest Road, at about 3.55am on Saturday.
Police said a man approached him and grabbed a chain from his neck before running away. The victim chased the thief, stopped him and managed to retrieve his stolen chain.
The offender then pulled out what appeared to be a black handgun, which he pointed at the victim before running off up the hill towards Handy Cross roundabout.
The offender is described as black, aged 18 to 20, about 5ft 4ins, and slim. He was wearing a blue and white striped T-shirt, blue trousers and trainers.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact PC John Phipps on 0845 8 505 505 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
