A few weeks later, on Thursday, April 11, a Ladbrokes shop in the Carmondean area of Livingston was raided at around 8.20pm.

Detective sergeant Ally Urquhart said: "These were frightening incidents for the staff who were fortunately unhurt.

"Anyone who may recognise the man pictured, or who has information relevant to our ongoing enquiries, is urged to contact either us or the charity Crimestoppers as soon as possible."
