Police in Edinburgh have released a video relating to an armed robbery that occurred around 6.25pm on Monday, January 23, at a shop in Rose Street.

They have released images and footage of a man that they believe may be able to help them with their investigation.

During the incident, a shop assistant was approached by a man brandishing a weapon and demanding cash from the till. The man made off with a three-figure sum of cash.

He was wearing an olive green hooded waterproof-style jacket, dark trousers, and dark-coloured shoes with a light coloured rim around the bottom near sole.

He was also wearing a black coloured scarf and has a distinctive tattoo on his right wrist.
