A CCTV appeal has been made after Aldi workers were targeted in a racist attack.

Two employees and a member of the public were threatened during the incident at the supermarket on Gilmerton Road in Edinburgh.

Police described the racially aggravated assault as "distressing and offensive".

They are seeking a man pictured on CCTV cameras at the store in relation to the incident on Sunday, March 5.

Constable Heather Storer said: "This was a distressing and offensive incident for the employees of the store who were simply doing their job.

"As part of the ongoing investigation, we're still eager to trace a man who we believe may be able to help with our enquiries and would urge anyone who recognises him to get in touch with us as soon as possible."

The man, believed to be in his mid 20s, is around 5ft 4in with a "chubby build", brown hair and blue eyes.
