A shop assistant has been left shaken after a man threatened them with a knife and screwdriver in Bellshill.
McColl's store in Calder Road was targeted on Sunday afternoon around 3:30pm.
The member of staff refused to hand over cash after they were threatened by the suspect.
The man then left with two crates of beer and headed off in the direction of Rosevale Crescent.
