A MAN brandished a weapon as he robbed a petrol station in Stirling over the weekend.
The Shell Garage on Kerse Road was the subject of a robbery early in the morning on Saturday, December 7.
At around 4.30am, the 26-year-old staff member from the petrol station was threatened by a man who had forced his way into the shop.
He brandished a weapon and demanded cigarettes and money from the till. Upon receiving a quantity of cigarettes, he left and walked along Kerse Road.
The female staff member was not injured but was left shaken by the ordeal, with police now appealing for witnesses.
The suspect is described as white, between 20 and 30 years old and was wearing a black and grey North Face jacket, a pink hoodie or pyjama top, tartan pyjama trousers and a Burberry scarf which covered the lower half of his face.
Detective sergeant John Hunter said: “Thankfully the lady in the shop wasn’t hurt but this was very frightening for her to experience.
“The suspect’s clothes are very distinctive. He would have been a standout if you walked or drove by him in the early hours of this morning.
“Officers are carrying out door-to-door enquiries and checking CCTV in the area, but are keen to hear from anyone who recognises the description of the man, who has been in the area and may have dashcam footage or has any information that may assist the officers with their enquiries.”
Anyone with any information can pass it onto police by calling 101, quoting incident number 0643 of Saturday, December 7.
