Cops hunt thief who robbed Scots bank and made off with cash after threatening staff

Cops are hunting a thief who stole a three-figure sum from a Scots bank and threatened staff.

The incident happened in the Royal Bank of Scotland on Kilmarnock Road, Glasgow, at around 4.05pm on Monday, February 28.

The man threatened staff and demanded cash before making off with a three-figure sum of money.

The suspect is described as being aged between 40 and 50. He was wearing a grey hooded top, light blue jeans and carrying an item wrapped in plastic carrier bags.

No one was injured in the robbery but staff were left 'very frightened', cops say.

Police have now launched a manhunt and are urging anyone who may have useful CCTV or dascham footage to come forward.

Detective Sergeant Laura Roberts, of Govan Police Station, said: "Thankfully no one was injured during the robbery, however it was a very frightening experience for the staff in the bank.

"Extensive enquiries are ongoing to trace the man responsible and I would appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time, or just prior to the incident, to contact police.

"I would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have private CCTV or dashcam footage from the area.

"Anyone with information which may assist our investigation should call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 2174 of Monday, 28 February, 2022.

"Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, if you wish to remain anonymous."
