Police have confirmed a taser stun gun was used to threaten a shop assistant during an incident at a Douglas newsagent on Wednesday night.
The female shop assistant was targeted by a man whilst working at the Lower Newby’s shop on Glen Falcon Road at around 9.40pm.
The man – who is described as around 5’10 in height and of average build - forced her to hand over £70 in cash.
He was wearing a light coloured coat over a dark hooded top, dark blue tracksuit bottoms and a balaclava.
Police say he spoke with a deep voice and an Eastern European accent – the woman was later treated for shock at Noble’s Hospital.
