Appeal after bookmakers robbery

Police are investigating a possible link with another bookmakers robbery

A three-figure sum of cash has been stolen during an armed robbery at a bookmakers in Glasgow.

Staff at William Hill Bookmakers in Cathcart Road, Govanhill, were threatened by a man carrying a firearm at about 1710 BST on Tuesday.

No-one was injured during the robbery and the suspect was last seen running in Calder Street.

He is described as white, with dark hair, in his late 20s to early 30s and was wearing a dark jacket with a hood.

Det Con Scott Brockie, of Strathclyde Police, said: "Enquiries are ongoing to establish any link between this robbery and the one committed at William Hill Bookmakers in Victoria Road around 2.15pm on Monday.

"I would appeal to anyone who was in the area and who may have seen the suspect hanging around the bookmakers before the robbery or running off afterwards to come forward."
