Police are appealing for information about a knife-point robbery in Harrogate.
It happened at 7:09pm on Saturday at Dougie’s fish and chip shop on King Edward’s Drive.
The suspect 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 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.”
Email force.control@northyorkshire.police.uk or call 101 if you have any information that could help with the investigation.
