A robber carrying a sharp object stole cash from a woman in Station Road.

Police said the 38-year-old victim was getting into her car at about 8.40pm on Monday when she was approached by a man. She was carrying an envelope which contained cash.

The man stopped her from closing the car door and then held a sharp object to her throat before demanding she hand over the money. When she gave him the envelope he ran off towards the cinema complex at the top of Station Road.

He was described as white and slim and was wearing a blue hooded top with white writing across the front and dark trousers.
