Police are appealing for information about a knife-point robbery in Harrogate.
It happened at 7.09pm yesterday (13 December) at Dougie’s fish and chip shop on King Edward’s Drive.
The suspect entered the shop alone and ordered a portion of chips, paying with a £5 note.
When the staff member opened the till, the suspect jumped over the counter, produced a knife, and emptied the till of around £300 to £400.
The suspect then fled on foot towards Albany Avenue.
He is described as white, around 6ft tall and overweight.
He wore a light blue long-sleeved t-shirt with plain black tracksuit trousers and used what appeared to be a bread knife.
North Yorkshire Police said the investigation remains ongoing and have urged anyone who has information and has yet to come forward to get in touch.
