Police are appealing for witnesses after shop staff were threatened with a blade during a terrifying attempted robbery.
A man entered a convenience store on St Paul Street in Buckie, Moray, at around 4.45pm on Monday, November 23, where he demanded money from shocked workers.
The would-be thief fled the scene empty handed and made off on foot in the direction of Barfield Road.
Thankfully no staff were injured during the ordeal but have been left badly shaken.
Officers say the suspect is aged between 25 to 40-years-old, around 5ft 6 to 5ft 10in tall and was wearing a dark hooded top with grey jogging bottoms.
Detective Sergeant Robbie Williams, of Elgin CID, said: "Fortunately no one was injured but it was an upsetting incident for the staff member involved.
"We are carrying out extensive enquiries in the area, including careful study of the available CCTV footage.
"I would urge anyone who was in the area around the time or who has any other information which could help our investigation to come forward.
"Anyone who may have dashcam or private CCTV footage is asked to review it and pass on anything notable to us.
"If you can help then please call 101, quoting incident 2180 of 23 November, or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
