A man was dragged from his car by two robbers outside a shopping centre.

The 24-year-old victim was outside the Carphone Warehouse in Straiton Mains, Midlothian, around 7.25pm on Monday when the attack took place.

The two men approached him as he sat in the car and forced open the door, dragging him from the vehicle.

They tried to steal his car but were thwarted and took his wallet.

Detective constable Laura Bowie, from Dalkeith CID, said: "This was an unprovoked attack with the victim showing extreme bravery to prevent the suspects from stealing his car.

"Thankfully the victim was not seriously injured and we are keen to trace those responsible.

"I would ask anyone who saw any suspicious behaviour in the Straiton Mains area, or has information that can help with our investigations, to contact officers immediately."

The first suspect is in his mid 20s and wore a grey hoody with a red or orange scarf over his face.

The second suspect is in his early 20s and wore a grey hoody and a black beanie hat.
