Police say a man made off with a cleaning product after threatening staff at an Edinburgh shop with a knife.

Officers say the male suspect threatened staff with a knife before stealing a cleaning product and leaving.
The man is described as white, 5 foot 10 inches to 6 foot tall, around 25 years old, of slim build, with dark stubble and was wearing a thin black quilted jacket over a dark hooded top, a dark coloured baseball cap, dark trousers and white trainers.
He was carrying an orange polythene carrier bag

"The man was seen to enter the shop earlier at about 10.55am and again at 11.05am so may have been loitering in the area prior to the robbery."
