A man has been left "badly shaken" following a knife-point robbery in the Highlands on Saturday.

At around 12:30pm, the 41-year-old was in the Old School Place area of Inverness, when a man approached him with a knife and demanded money from him.

Police say the victim was not injured in the incident, but has been left badly shaken.

The suspect is described as white, approximately 6ft tall, with a slim build and aged between 20 to 30 years old.

He was wearing a grey hooded jacket with the hood pulled up. He ran off in the direction of Rosehaugh Road.

Officers are gathering any relevant CCTV footage for additional information on the suspect.

Detective Constable Pam Dugdale said: “I am appealing to anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident to contact us with any information they have, even if they think it’s not relevant, please do pass it on.

"I would also ask motorists to check any dash cam equipment for any images which could assist the ongoing inquiry.”
