A man has been charged after allegedly using a gun to rob an Aberdeen shop.

The alleged incident took place at Icon Stores, on Aberdeen’s George Street, shortly after it opened on October 31.

It is alleged he went into the shop, brandished a firearm, and demanded money from a staff member.

A police investigation was subsequently launched, with officers carrying out door-to-door inquiries.

They also scoured CCTV and urged any motorists with dashboard cameras that had been in the area at the time to come forward.

It is not known when the man will appear at the city’s sheriff court.

Meanwhile, officers are continuing their investigations into the robbery at the Coral at Cornhill Shopping Arcade at about 9.40am last Thursday.

Two men walked into the shop – one of them brandishing a weapon – and demanded money. No one was injured but the culprits made off with £3,000.

Police said the first suspect was white, of stocky build, in his early 20s, and between 5ft 10in. He may have had facial hair.

He was wearing a black jacket with white emblem on the left chest area, a grey hood pulled tight around his face, dark gloves, light tracksuit bottoms and trainers.

The second suspect was also white, around the same height and age, and slim.

He was wearing a black jacket, with a black hood pulled tight around his face, had copper or red facial stubble, dark gloves, dark tracksuit bottoms and trainers.

Anyone with any information should contact police on 101.
