A man threatened staff with a weapon during a robbery at the BP petrol station on Great Western Road in Glasgow.

The man entered the forecourt shop at about 2.55am on Saturday 26 Sept and threatened two members of staff with a weapon and demanded money, before running away with a small sum of cash.

He was last seen running in the direction of the city centre on Devonshire Terrace.

The male suspect is described as white, around 5 ft 8 ins tall and was wearing a black hat, black face covering and sunglasses.

He was also wearing a black and white top, black trousers, gloves and white trainers.

Detective sergeant Scott McNulty of Glasgow CID said: “Thankfully the two women who were working in the shop at the time were unharmed in this incident, but they have understandably been left very shaken.

“I am appealing for any witnesses who may have seen the suspect in the area before or running away after the incident.

“We believe he may have entered the petrol station from the same path he ran away in the direction of.

“I am also appealing to any drivers who were in the area at the time with dash cams to check back and see if they may have caught any footage of the suspect.”

People are urged to contact police on 101 with information no matter how small they think it is, quoting reference 0523 of 26 September.

Alternatively they can contact the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
