A CCTV image has been released of a man wanted in connection with an armed robbery at an Aberdeen newsagent.

A thief threatened a shopworker with a knife at Adie's Self Service on Bedford Road on January 13.

The staff member was unharmed but the thief escaped with more than £100 and cigarettes.

Detective constable James Anderson, who is leading Police Scotland's inquiry, said: "I would urge anyone who has any information in relation to the man depicted in the CCTV image to make contact with the police and pass on that information."

The thief was described as a white man in his 20s. He was wearing a blue hoodie during the robbery.
