Two women were threatened with a knife in a robbery at a shop in Glasgow's east end.
The two shop assistants, aged 59 and 64, were threatened by a man who then escaped with a three-figure sum of cash.
The robbery happened at G101 Off Sales in Gartcraig Road, Riddrie, at around 8.20pm on Saturday.
The attacker was last seen running north on Gartcraig Road. He was described as in his 20s, 5ft tall and of slim build. He was wearing a khaki hooded jacket, dark gloves and had a mask over his face.
A Strathclyde Police spokesman said: "The women were left uninjured but extremely shocked."
Officers are keen to speak to anyone who saw the man hanging around the shop before the robbery, anyone who recognises the description or saw him running off, or who has any other information.
