A man stole two bottles of vodka and more than £100 in cash during a knifepoint robbery in West Lothian.

He raided the Tweed Drive Corner Shop in Craigshill, Livingston, at around 7.50pm on Monday.

No-one was injured in the incident but police said it was a "frightening experience" for staff and customers.

Police have appealed for witnesses in a bid to trace the man responsible. He is described as white, between 25 and 30-years-old and around 6ft in height with a muscular build.

At the time of the robbery he was wearing a grey top, a black and white snood and a black and white baseball cap.

It is believed he spoke with an Eastern European accent.

Detective Inspector Paul Batten said: "While no-one was injured during this robbery, it was a frightening experience for staff and customers within the store.

"We are urging anyone who saw anything suspicious in the Tweed Drive area on Monday evening, or who recognises the description of the suspect, to contact police immediately.

"In addition, anyone with any further information relevant to this investigation, should also get in touch."

Anyone with information regarding this can contact Livingston CID on 101 or an anonymous report can be made via the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
