Armed robber makes off with charity cash

An armed robber made off with cash and charity collection tins after threatening staff at a bowling club in Lanarkshire.

Detectives have described the daylight raid in Law on Saturday as “despicable”.

The man is alleged to have entered Law Bowling Club between 12:30pm and 1pm before threatening a man and woman with what appeared to be a firearm. He demanded money from the members of staff at the Lawmuir Road premises and fled with five charity tins and a two-figure sum of cash.

No-one was injured.
