A ROBBER escaped with a three-figure sum of money after threatening staff at a city bank.
The man, who was carrying an item wrapped in plastic carrier bags, entered the Royal Bank of Scotland branch on Kilmarnock Road, Glasgow, at around 4.05pm on Monday and demanded money.
He threatened staff and made off with a three-figure sum of cash.
The suspect is described as being between 40 and 50 years old and was wearing a grey hooded top and light blue jeans.
Police are appealing for information about the incident in the Shawlands area of the city.
Detective Sergeant Laura Roberts, of Govan police station, said: “Thankfully no-one was injured during the robbery, however it was a very frightening experience for the staff in the bank.
“Extensive inquiries are ongoing to trace the man responsible and I would appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time, or just prior to the incident, to contact police.
“I would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have private CCTV or dashcam footage from the area.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 2174 of Monday February 28, 2022 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where anonymity can be maintained.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
