Police are appealing for witnesses after a man stole two bottles of vodka and more than £100 in cash during a knifepoint robbery which took place at the Tweed Drive Corner Shop in Craigshill, Livingston, at around 7.50pm on Monday evening
The culprit is described as white, between 25 and 30-years-old and around 6ft in height with a muscular build.
He was wearing a grey top, a black and white snood and a black and white baseball cap and spoke with an Eastern European accent.
Detective Inspector Paul Batten said: “While no-one was injured during this robbery, it was a frightening experience for staff and customers within the store.
“We are urging anyone who saw anything suspicious in the Tweed Drive area on Monday evening, or who recognises the description of the suspect, to contact police immediately.
“In addition, anyone with any further information relevant to this investigation, should also get in touch.”
