Appeal for Video Footage After Knife-Point Robbery in Scarborough

North Yorkshire Police are appealing for information to help identify suspect involved in a knife-point robbery attempt in Scarborough.

The incident occurred at approximately 7.40pm on Friday 29 November 2024, at the Go Local convenience store on Scalby Road.

A young male entered the store armed with a long-bladed knife, threatening a member of staff working behind the counter.

The suspect made repeated threats to stab and kill the staff member while lunging the knife toward them. He demanded the till be opened and the money handed over, repeatedly using threatening language.

The suspect spoke with an accent not believed to be local to Scarborough.

He is described as a white male and was wearing all black clothing with a face covering at the time.

Officers say:

"We urge anyone with information that may assist our investigation to come forward.

This includes anyone who may have CCTV or dashcam footage from the area around the time of the incident. Your information could be crucial to the investigation.

If you have any details that could help, please contact Alfie.thomlinson1@northyorkshire.police.uk from Scarborough CID by calling 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously, quoting occurrence number 12240218364."
