Police are hunting two women who robbed a man in a Glasgow after he refused to give them money.

The victim was walking along Great Western Road when he was approached by the women around 11am on Thursday.

They persuaded him to go into the nearby Belmont Lane in Kelvinbridge before asking him for money.

He refused and the women grabbed him and rifled through his pockets, stealing a low two-figure sum of cash. They then made of towards Great Western Road.

Police have appealed for information and are also seeking a woman who came to the victim's aid.

Detective sergeant Raymond Hunter said: "Thankfully the man, who was on his way to a nearby social club, was not injured but he was quite shaken by the incident.

"I am keen to speak to a woman who we believe may have known him and who saw either the robbery take place or saw him in distress as she went to the club and alerted staff who then came out to assist him.

"It's important she comes forward as she may have information that will help us identify the two women responsible."

The two women are described as being in their thirties, of Eastern European appearance and with dark hair.

Information can be passed to the Community Investigations Unit at Pollok via 101 or in confidence to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
