Appeal

We’re appealing for information about a knife-point robbery in Harrogate 

It happened at 1909 on Saturday 13th December 2025 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.

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.

Please email force.control@northyorkshire.police.uk or call 101 if you have any information that could help our investigation.

Alternatively, you can call North Yorkshire Police on 101 and ask or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via their website.
