Police are appealing for information following a robbery at a petrol station in Ayr on Wednesday 4 April 2018.
Around 0015 hours on Wednesday morning, a man brandishing a knife threatened a female member of staff within the Tam O’Shanter Filling Station, Station Bridge Road, Ayr, and demanded money. He made off with a three figure sum of money.
The 49 year old woman was not injured but was left shaken by what happened.
The suspect is described as white, possibly in his 30s, of heavy build, wearing dark clothing including a hooded PUMA top, and white trainers. He had the hood up and a scarf covering his face.
When last seen he ran off into the car park of a nearby retail park.
Detective Constable Stuart Ferguson, Ayr CID, said:
“Thankfully the female staff member was unhurt but this was a very frightening thing to happen to her.
“Officers have been checking CCTV and making local enquiries but would appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time or who maybe recognises the description of the man or indeed saw him in the area prior to or after the robbery to contact them.
“Information can be passed to Ayr CID via 101. Please quote incident number 0150/04/04/18 when calling.
“Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted in confidence on 0800 555 111.”
