“It is vital that we catch the person responsible before he strikes again and as such I appeal to anyone who either witnessed the incident or who was in the vicinity of George Street, Ayr around 2130 hrs on Wednesday 27 September and may have seen him hanging around the area either prior to the robbery taken place or running off afterwards to contact police immediately."
