POLICE are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed an attempted robbery to help them with their inquiries.
Two men entered David Ogdens Travel, Higher Parr Street, Fingerpost, at about 2.15pm on Wednesday, December 29. One stayed near the door, while the other went inside and told staff to lie down. He then asked where the money was kept and threatened staff before searching a number of drawers.
The two men eventually left without taking any cash.
The man who went into the shop and threatened staff is described as white, aged 27 to 30 years, 5ft 8in tall, with dark hair and a scruffy, unshaven appearance.
The man who stayed at the door was white, 5ft 2in tall, aged 16 or 17 years and clean shaven. He was wearing a jogging top with the hood pulled up.
Anyone able to help the police with their inquiries can contact DC Mal Van Schaick on 0151 777 6064, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
