Detectives have issued CCTV images of a man they want they would like to speak to following a robbery at a shop in Crosby.

At around 3pm on Sunday 30th October a man entered the Go Local Store on Bridge Road, approached the shop counter and produced a kitchen knife with a red handle.

The man demanded cash and the female assistant handed over a quantity of cash before pressing a panic alarm and seeking assistance from a neighbouring shop keeper.

The man left the shop and was last seen on Cavendish Road. He is described as approximately 5ft 10in tall, average build, with short blond hair and clean shaven, he had a light tanned complexion and was wearing a dark coloured coat and blue jeans.

The female assistant wasn’t injured but was left shaken by her ordeal.

An investigation is underway and officers believe the man in the images may have information which could assist with their enquiries.

Anyone who recognises the man or knows of his whereabouts is asked to call 0151 777 3824 or the Crimestoppers line anonymously on 0800 555 111.
