Police are seeking a man who threatened a woman working at a petrol station before stealing a three-figure sum of money.

The incident took place at around 5.50am on Tuesday, September 6, on Crow Road in Glasgow’s Jordanhill area.

A 52-year-old woman, who was working at the petrol station, was threatened by the man who demanded money.

He is described as being white, in his 50s, of thin build, with a scruffy, short grey beard.

The man was wearing a light coloured top, dark trousers and a baseball cap.

Officers believe that he may have been watching the premises for a short period of time before carrying out the robbery.

High-visibility police patrols are being carried out in the area and enquiries are ongoing to establish who is responsible.

Police Constable Scott Kelly, from the Community Investigation Unit, said: “Fortunately the staff member was not injured, but this was a particularly distressing incident for her.

“If you were in the area around the time of the robbery, either before or after, and witnessed anything suspicious or recognise the description of the man, please get in touch. 

“Similarly, if you have dash-cam footage that may help with our investigation then please contact us.

“Anyone who can help is asked to get in touch via 101, quoting incident number 0414 of Tuesday, September 6, 2022 or make a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
