Detectives have issued a fresh appeal for information following an attempted knife robbery at a Greenhills convenience store.
Two female shop workers were left terrified when a balaclava-clad man stormed My Local Store in Cedar Drive at around 7.10pm on Wednesday, March 27.
He produced a knife and assaulted a 40-year-old staff member while demanding money.
The suspect then left the premises empty-handed and made off in the direction of St Andrew’s Methodist Church.
He is described as wearing a balaclava, a black bomber-style jacket with a fluorescent green zip and grey jogging bottoms. He was also carrying a black rucksack.
Officers are urging locals with home security or dash-cam footage to come forward.
