A knife-wielding raider stole hundreds of pounds after holding up a Harrogate fish and chip shop.
It happened at 7.09pm yesterday (Saturday) at Dougie’s fish and chip shop on King Edward’s Drive.
A man entered the shop alone and ordered a portion of chips, paying with a £5 note.

When the staff member opened the till, the suspect jumped over the counter, produced a knife, and emptied the till of around £300 to £400.
The suspect then fled on foot towards Albany Avenue.
He is described as white, around 6ft tall and overweight.
He wore a light blue long-sleeved T-shirt with plain black tracksuit trousers and used what appeared to be a bread knife.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “We launched an investigation and have been carrying out extensive enquiries.
“Our investigation remains ongoing today and we’re urging anyone who has information and has yet to come forward to get in touch.”
