Knifepoint robbery in Harrogate sparks police appeal for information
North Yorkshire Police are appealing for information about a knife-point robbery in Harrogate.
The incident happened at 7.09pm yesterday (Saturday, December 13) at Dougie’s fish and chip shop on King Edward’s Drive.
The suspect entered the shop alone and ordered a portion of chips, paying with a £5 note.
When the staff member opened the till, the suspect jumped over the counter, produced a knife, and emptied the till of around £300 to £400.
The suspect then fled on foot towards Albany Avenue.
He is described as white, around 6ft tall and overweight.
He wore a light blue, long-sleeved t-shirt with plain black tracksuit trousers and used what appeared to be a bread knife.
Appealing for information, NorthYorkshire Police said:
We launched an investigation and have been carrying out extensive enquiries.
Our investigation remains ongoing today and we're urging anyone who has information and has yet to come forward to get in touch.
Anyone with information that could help the investigation should email force.control@northyorkshire.police.uk or call 101.
Alternatively, they can call North Yorkshire Police on 101 and ask or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via its website.
The reference 12250234310 should be quoted when passing on information.
