AN armed man demanded cash from shop workers in Glasgow.
Police said the man, who had a knife, threatened two staff members in the 101 store in the Castlemilk Arcade on Thursday night.
He escaped with a two figure sum of cash and a 24 pack of Budweiser beer.
The robber is described as being white, of stocky build and was wearing a grey tracksuit top with the hood up, a black beanie hat, grey jogging bottoms with black socks over them, and white trainers.
Detective Constable Mark McCallum said: “The suspect was loitering around outside the store for several minutes before he entered and I would appeal to anyone who saw him to please get in touch.
“I would also like to speak to anyone who noticed a man matching the above description carrying a 24-pack of Budweiser beer in the area to come forward, as well as asking motorists with dash-cams who were in the vicinity of Castlemilk Drive to check their footage, in case they have captured anything which could be of significance to our investigation."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
