Blade-wielding thug threatens Scots shop workers during terrifying armed robbery

A police manhunt has been launched to find an armed thug who robbed a Fife shop at knife-point.

The suspect entered the convenience store on Main Street, Cardenden, at around 6pm on Thursday, November 4.

He fled the scene on foot after brandishing a blade at shocked staff and stealing cash and cigarettes.

Investigators say the man is white, aged between 20 to 30, of a medium build and spoke with a local accent.

He was wearing a black hooded top, grey jogging bottoms and white trainers at the time of the incident.

DC Davie Lafferty of Dunfermline CID said: “Thankfully no one was injured during this incident but staff are understandably very shaken up by the events.

“Police are appealing to anyone who may have been in the area at this time and seen someone fitting this description.

“We would also request passing motorists to check any dash-cam footage they may hold which may have captured the suspect in the area.”

Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland, quoting reference 3005 of 4 November.
