AN insurance agent was robbed of his takings at knife-point as he did his rounds.

The victim was walking along Beechwood Close, Clock Face, at about 5.20pm on Tuesday, August 29 when he was confronted by a man who held a kitchen knife to his throat and demanded that he hand over the cash.

The robber escaped with the money down a nearby entry.

He is described as aged in his late 20s, 5ft 10in tall with a stocky build and short dark hair. He was wearing black jeans and a grey hooded top.
