Police have issued a renewed description of clothing worn by the suspect in an attempted robbery in Elgin.

An 18-year-old man was approached by a man who tried to steal money and personal belongings at the Tyock Industrial Estate, Elgin, at around 10:45pm on Saturday 12 December 2015.

Although not injured the victim was left shaken by the incident.

Following further enquiries, the man responsible has been described as being approximately 6ft tall, heavy build, wearing a navy or black hooded top with white 'Reebok' writing on it. He was also wearing a 'Scream' style mask and spoke with a local accent.

Detective Inspector Norman Stevenson who is overseeing the investigation said: "We've spoken again with the victim and he has given us clear detail on what the man responsible has covered his face with. He's also given us a good description of the clothing he has worn and what was written on the front. If anyone knows someone who fits the description and who may be responsible, I'd appeal for them to call us and provide their name." Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.
