A man has opened up about being locked down in a bank after attempting to withdraw £15,000 from his account. Police raced to a HSBC bank in Huddersfield town centre last Friday at around 11.35am over reports of a disturbance involving a male customer.
The bank was shut down and a man was seen being handcuffed and led away by police. Another customer Frankie Palmer, a 22-year-old asset manager, told YorkshireLive what he witnessed when he tried to withdraw his funds.
Frankie, who was not arrested and walked freely out of the bank once the disagreement had ended, said: "At first, I was confused because I was asking to transfer money to a Santander private client and even attempting to simply withdraw it if it made things easier for the bank, however, as the manager came out she instantly had an issue, I could tell from the tone of her voice and her attitude.
