Police have released footage of an armed raid on a security guard carrying a cash box to his van.
The robbery took place at about 12:00 on Monday outside the Go Outdoors store in Ascot Drive, Derby.
The CCTV footage shows a black Mercedes car pull up next to the G4S van as the guard walks towards it.
A man then jumps out, threatens him with a hammer and chases him.
The guard suffered minor injuries and the robber made off with a "significant amount" of cash after smashing the box with the hammer, police said.
The car was dumped in Cotton Lane and two men got into an older, red Mercedes.
Police want to speak to witnesses, in particular a couple who saw it.

England cricketer Ben Stokes has donated more than £19,000 to a fundraiser by a cricket fan who did a Parkrun in just his pants and flip-flops.
Jonathan Lamley, from Nottingham, promised he would do the run if England clinched an unlikely Ashes win at Headingley, and, true to his word, completed the 5km run on Saturday with a friend after Stokes inspired England to victory in August.

He has since dropped a cool £19,127 on the fundraiser for Alzheimer's Research UK, with the message: "Well done you two, great to speak this morning - just holding up my word like you did."
This, along with hundreds of pounds donated by others, means they have raised 3392% of their original target of about £600.
Mr Lamley said: "We just can't believe it. It's incredible."

A Nottingham-born actress has received an honorary degree from the university where her mother and grandmother worked as dinner ladies.
Samantha Morton, who was born in Clifton, was made a Doctor of Letters at the University of Nottingham yesterday.
She told the BBC: "If they were alive today they'd just be over the moon I'm here actually getting a degree, someone from my background actually achieving that is extraordinary."
She also spoke about her experience as a child in the city's care system, responding to this summer's IICSA report.
"The abuse I and my friends suffered is equivalent to hell," she said. "The system was not, and still isn't, fit for purpose.
"They were allowed to do what they did because there were not proper systems in place. How are we going to get justice?"
