West Lothian Police are appealing for information after a man was robbed at knifepoint in Eliburn, Livingston on Saturday October 19.
At around 5.30pm, a 39-year-old man was walking on the pathway to the rear of Buchanan Crescent, when he was approached and then threatened by a male youth brandishing a knife.
The suspect, who then fled with a small sum of cash, is described as white, 13 to 15 years of age, wearing a pale blue scarf and a dark blue hooded top.
Detective Constable John Irvine, Livingston CID, said: “Thankfully the man was not injured, however, to be threatened with a knife, was very frightening for him. All this for only a few pounds.
“The path is used by locals to walk their dogs or for going to the nearby supermarket, so at this time of the evening, it’s possible that someone may have seen the boy hanging about the area or running off towards the bridge at the train track shortly afterwards.
“Anyone with information can call Livingston CID via 101. Please quote reference number 3155 of Saturday, 19 October, 2019, when calling. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
