GRAMPIAN Police have released CCTV images of the three robbers who have stolen more than £10,000 in two separate raids on Aberdeen stores this month.

The first robbery was at the RS McColl store in Bervie Brow in the Cove area of the city on Thursday, 3 January, and the second at the Spar store on North Deeside Road, Peterculter, on Friday 11 January.

During both raids, three men, their faces unmasked by scarves and hoodies, entered the shops, armed with bladed weapons, and demanded money.

Detective Inspector Lorna Ferguson, who is heading the investigation, said: “In both of these incidents members of the public have clearly endured an ordeal that no one should be exposed to.

“I would urge anyone who has any information relating to the males depicted, or who may recognise them from the clothing they are wearing in the CCTV images to make contact with the police and pass on that information.”

The suspects in the two robberies are described as between 18 to 25 years old, and between 5ft 10in and 6ft tall.
