POLICE are hunting two men who attempted to rob a convenience store in Glasgow's South Side.

They threatened the elderly shopkeeper and a member of staff with weapons and demanded money during the incident in Nazir's Newsagents in Craigbank Drive, Pollok.

A 62-year-old female employee and the 74-year-old shopkeeper were left "terrified" but unharmed, police said.

Detective Constable Neil Guy, from the Community Investigation Unit in Pollok, has launched an appeal for information.

The suspects are des­cribed as white, in their early 20s and were wearing black clothing.

Anyone with information should call Pollok Police Office on 101.
