Detectives have issued CCTV images of a man they want to trace following a robbery in Southport.

At around 8pm on Saturday 8th October 2016 a male entered Leisure Time amusements on Tulketh Street in Southport. It is believed the male was armed with a kitchen knife.

The male approached a cashier and demanded cash. He then left the premises with a quantity of cash.

The cashier was not injured but was left badly shaken by their ordeal.

The male was wearing a camouflage jacket, an orange hooded top, dark coloured tracksuit bottoms, dark coloured trainers and sunglasses.

Detective Constable Anna Skelton said: “Even though this man made attempts to disguise his identity his clothing is particularly distinctive.

“This was a Saturday evening in the middle of Southport town centre. I am sure that somebody would have seen this man either approaching or leaving the premises or may recognise the clothing.

“This was a terrifying ordeal for the cashier, who was left badly shaken up, and it is vital that we catch this man and bring him to justice.”
