A shopkeeper was threatened with knives during a daylight robbery at a convenience store in Springburn.

Police said two men dressed in dark clothing entered Malik General Stores on Keppochhill Road shortly after 11am today.

They threatened the shopkeeper with knives before making off with a three figure sum of cash.

It is understood they ran off in the direction of Crichton Street.

The two suspects are described as white men who were both of medium height and medium build.

One was wearing entirely dark clothing and had most of his face covered.

The second was wearing a navy coloured body warmer with a hooded top.

Detective Sergeant Peter Sharp, from the Community Investigation Unit at Pollok, said: "Thankfully no one was injured during the robbery, however, it was a very frightening experience for the staff at the shop.

“Our inquiries are still at quite an early stage. We are analysing available CCTV and conducting interviews. I would appeal to anyone who was in the area of the shop at the time of incident to contact police with any relevant information.

“You may have heard a disturbance, or seen someone running away from Keppochill Road around the time of the incident. You may think the information you hold is insignificant, but as part of our larger inquiry, your information could make all the difference.

“I would ask that anyone who has information about the man responsible or can help with our enquiries, please contact 101."
