Lothian and Borders Police are appealing for information following a robbery at a store in Melville Terrace, Edinburgh on Thursday night, January 27.
Two men went into Meadows Wine at 8.10pm brandishing what appeared to be handguns, and demanded cash from the till.
After the three-figure sum of money had been handed over, the men made off on foot along Melville Terrace, onto Moncrieff Terrace.
The men are both described as being white, in their late teens to early 20s, between 5ft 8ins – 6ft tall, and of slim build.
One was wearing a black hooded top/jacket with a black scarf hiding his face and dark-coloured adidas tracksuit bottoms. He spoke with a local accent.
The other was wearing a black hooded top/jacket. He also had a blue scarf covering his face, dark-coloured adidas tracksuit bottoms and short or fair hair.
A police spokesperson said: ‘Fortunately no one was injured in this incident, but it has been a traumatic experience for the members of staff in the store.
‘We are appealing for anyone who may have been in the area at the time, and may have seen two men acting suspiciously, to get in touch.
‘We would also like to hear from anyone who may recognise the description of the suspects to come forward.’
Anyone with information should contact Lothian and Borders Police on 0131 311 3131, or the charity Crimestoppers, in confidence and complete anonymity, on 0800 555 111.
