Hamilton Police are seeking information from the public after a robbery in Enderley this morning.
Around 7:20am a man entered the Fifth Avenue Mini Mart on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Tramway Road, demanding cigarettes and threatening the shop owner.
The man fled the store a short time later with cigarettes, leaving on a black bicycle in the direction of the Five Cross Roads roundabout.
The victim was thankfully uninjured but she was understandably shaken by the event.
