A shop worker has been threatened with a knife during an armed robbery in Newtownards.
It happened at an off licence on Movilla Street shortly before 7.55pm.
A masked man entered the property and demanded money, before making off with cash towards the town centre.
The woman working there was not injured but was left badly shaken.
Meanwhile, the suspect is described as being between 5'8" and 5'10" in height and of slim build.
He's believed to have been wearing a dark coloured top, a balaclava and black gloves.
