Armed robbery at Glasgow newsagents

    A thief armed with a knife robbed a newsagent shop in Glasgow.

    Officers are appealing for information following the incident at a shop in Baillieston on Sunday, 13 August.

    At around 10.10am, a 20-year-old man was working within Ahmeds Newsagents on Main Street, Baillieston, when a man came into the shop, threatened him with a knife and made off with a quantity of cash, cigarettes and scratch cards. He was last seen running along Main Street towards the junction with Church Street.
