More help needed after newsagent robbery

Thursday, 28 November 2013 00:00

Police are renewing their appeal for help following a robbery at a Douglas newsagent.

A balaclava-clad man threatened a female shop assistant with a stun gun at Newby's on Glen Falcon Road last Wednesday night.

He forced her to hand over around £70 in cash from the till - she was later taken to hospital where she was treated for shock.

CCTV images of the suspect have been released - he is described as around 5'10" in height with a possible eastern European accent.

Detective sergeant Brian Shimmin says they still need the public's help in identifying this man:
