Knife-wielding robber targets supermarket

A knife-wielding robber with a stocking over his face has struck at a superstore in the Borders.

He threatened staff at the Co-op on High Croft in Kelso before making off with a three-figure sum from a till. He was described as being 5ft 9in, of slim build and wearing a jacket with large grey and black checks, a white T-shirt, dark jeans and blue and white trainers. The incident happened at about 10.25 pm on Monday.

Det Con Andy Loughlin said: “I would ask anyone who may have seen him before or after the robbery to come forward.”
