and live on Freeview channel 276
The incident happened just after 4.30pm on Monday at Rowlands Pharmacy, in Charlotte Dundas Court, when a man, whose face was partially hidden by a scarf, or buff, and the hood of his jacket, demanded staff hand over money.
He then made off without getting his hands on any cash.
Police had previously appealed for anyone who may have been in the area at the time or who may have seen a male acting suspiciously to come forward. They were also looking to see if anyone had dash cam footage or private CCTV footage which could help.
