shortly before 1.50pm on Aug 30, police were called to Sale Square Shopping Centre to reports of an armed robbery.

Officers attended and established that a man had entered the RBS and passed a threatening note to a cashier demanding money.

The man then fled the scene along Springfield Road towards the canal with a quantity of cash in a dark rucksack.

As the man fled, a red dye pack placed with the cash was let off inside a nearby shop.

Security and cleaning staff tell me the man who was wearing dark clothing came in and out on a mountain bike and through Wilkos.

The search for the man is ongoing.

Anyone with information should call police on 101, quoting incident number 981 of 30/08/17, or Crimstoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
