Police are looking for witnesses after a robbery at a betting shop in Aberdeen.
It happened last night at the Coral in Cornhill Shopping Arcade on Foresterhill Road.

A low four-figure sum of money was stolen.
The first suspect is white, early twenties, 5"10" to 5"11", stocky build with possible facial hair. He was wearing a black jacket with white emblem on the left chest area, grey hood pulled tight around face, dark gloves, light tracksuit bottoms and trainers.
The second suspect is also white, aged in his twenties, 5"10" to 5"11 in height. He is slim and was wearing a black jacket, black hood pulled tight around his face, possibly copper or red coloured facial stubble, dark gloves, dark tracksuit bottoms and trainers.
Detective Sergeant Mike Reynolds said: "Although no one was injured in this incident, this was a frightening experience for staff involved. I would appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time and who may have seen the two males described or anything suspicious to come forward. I'm also appealing to any drivers with vehicles fitted with dashboard cameras who were in the area of Foresterhill Road around the time in question to check any recordings and report anything suspicious. Officers will be in the area carrying out door to door enquiries as well as speaking to local residents and pedestrians to gather information which may assist with ongoing enquiries.
"I would urge anyone with information to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if you wish to remain anonymous."
