Robber pulls gun on bookmakers staff in ‘frightening’ raid Police Scotland

An armed thief threatened bookmakers staff with a gun during a “frightening” attempted robbery.

The raider entered the William Hill shop on Crow Road, Glasgow, at around 7.50pm on Friday night and threatened a male member of staff.

No-one was injured during the incident and the gunman left empty handed.

The suspect is described as white, around 5ft 6 and of medium build. He is in his 30s and was wearing grey jogging bottoms with a distinctive red long sleeve top, a black snood, black hat and black glasses. He was also carrying a black drawstring bag.

Constable Stuart Stevens said: “This was a frightening experience for the member of staff, who fortunately was not injured in the incident. 

“I’m appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time or was driving, especially in the nearby supermarket, and has dash cam footage to get in touch via 101 quoting ref number 3347 of 9 October 2020.”
