Police have been hunting a serial armed robber who raided a number of off-licences across Glasgow.
The man is thought to have struck at premises in the city's Cathcart, Thornliebank and Shawlands areas.
The robberies all occurred at G101 shops and resulted in the man getting away with a three-figure sum of cash after threatening staff with a knife.
Officers said that the most recent incident happened in Cathcart on Sunday.
The other robberies occurred at off-licences in Thornliebank last Thursday and Shawlands on Saturday.
Sunday's robbery occurred at 1835 BST at premises in Aikenhead Road, in Cathcart.
"This man must be stopped before he puts anyone else in a state of fear and alarm"
The incident on Saturday happened at about 1940 BST at a shop on Battlefield Road, in Shawlands.
Thursday's robbery was carried out at about 1935 BST at premises in Main Street, Thornliebank.
No-one was injured during the incidents.
The suspect, who made off on foot, was described as white, 35 to 45 years old, 5ft 11in tall, of medium build, with a local accent and unshaven with light brown but greying hair.
On Saturday he was wearing a green army type jacket and a woollen hat and on Sunday he wore a grey hooded top with a yellow stripe across the chest and a woollen hat.
'Very frightening'
On Thursday he was described as wearing a grey coloured top with blue jeans.
Detective Sergeant Fil Capaldi said: "We believe that one man is responsible for all three robberies.
"Fortunately, the staff working in the shops have not been physically injured. However, all have been left very badly shaken by what has been a very frightening experience for all involved.
"I am really keen to hear from anyone who can help identify the man responsible.
"I would ask anyone who was in the area of any of the premises at the times of the robberies, who may have noticed anyone acting suspiciously or fitting the description of the suspect to come forward.
"This man must be stopped before he puts anyone else in a state of fear and alarm."
