A knife-wielding robber has stolen takings from the Loch Fyne restaurant in Jericho.

The attacker threatened his 32-year-old victim as he was carrying the money along King Street on Monday at about 2.30pm.

The victim handed over the takings from the Walton Street seafood restaurant and his wallet and the robber ran off down Great Clarendon Street.

Police described the suspect as white, of medium build and about 40 years old. They said he had short brownish hair, patchy stubble and wore a thin dark jacket and dark trousers.

They asked anyone with information to call 101.
