Google MapsPolice have launched a probe after a man was targeted in an attempted robbery in a supermarket car park.
The suspect approached the victim in his silver Mercedes car at the Morrisons store in Aberdeen’s West North Street shortly after 3.45pm on Christmas Eve.

Officers are now attempting to trace the man responsible.
He is described as being around 20, of medium height and build, with darker skin and wearing dark coloured clothing.

“In particular we would like to speak to two men and two women who we believe may be witnesses who can help with our investigation.
“Also, anyone who saw this man on the bicycle and where he went is also asked to get in touch with officers.”
