Workers at a Glasgow petrol station have been left 'distressed' after being threatened and robbed in the early hours of yesterday morning.
The incident took place at 5.50am on Tuesday on Crow Road, with a man entering the petrol station and threatening the 52-year-old shop worker, demanding money. Luckily, no one was harmed as a result of the robbery.
The suspect then made off with a three-figure sum. Officers believe the suspect may have been watching the premises for a short period of time before the incident.
