Police are on the hunt for a masked man who held up a Bellshill shop at knifepoint and threatened a female member of staff.
The robber entered the Premier Store on Old Edinburgh Road around 1.10pm last Monday (August 26) and demanded money from the 32-year-old shop worker.
Detective Sergeant Gary Crossan at Wishaw CID, the officer in charge of the enquiry, is appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time and who may have witnessed the robbery to contact him.
He said: “This was a frightening incident for the woman who was left extremely shaken and I am keen to hear from anyone who has information about the man responsible or recognises his description.”
The suspect is around 5ft3, slim to medium build and he speaks with a local accent. He was wearing black trainers, black jogging trousers with a NIKE logo on the left leg and a dark grey zipper with white zip and white toggles.
DS Crossan added: “If you have information please contact Police Scotland on 101 - quoting incident number 1929 of 26 August 2019. Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
