Police have released an image of a man wanted in connection with a knife point robbery on Anlaby Road in west Hull.

The robbery happened at Bet Fred at about 8pm on Tuesday.

He entered the bookmakers asking the staff if there had been two small men in the shop, before returning 25 minutes later when he approached the counter.

He threatened the two female members of staff and brandished a "sharp implement" threatening the women and requesting cash to be handed over to him.

An amount of money was given to the man before he left the shop.

The man is between 5ft 6in and 5ft 11in tall, of a medium build, aged between 30 and 35-years-old, was wearing a dark hat, a dark hooded top and a dark jacket.

Detective Sergeant Phil Gadd said: "This is a despicable crime against two women who were just doing their normal business at work."
