Shop worker injured in Aberdeen robbery

A shop worker had to be given medical treatment after an alleged robbery at an Aberdeen shop.

Officers were sent to the store on Heathryfold Crescent at around 2.25pm yesterday.

A woman working there at the time had to receive medical treatment, but police confirmed she had not suffered any serious injuries.

Just five minutes beforehand police were called to a shop on nearby Marchburn Drive where a “small quantity” of alcohol was reported stolen.

A 41-year-old man has been arrested in connection with both events.

Detective Sergeant Stephen Beattie said: “I would like to thank those who assisted at the scene which enabled officers to take quick action.”
