POLICE have launched the hunt for a man who robbed a woman at a Southampton convenience store.

The 19-year-old victim was using an ATM at a Tesco Express in Lodge Road shortly after 1am on February 11 when the thief struck.

After she had typed her PIN into the machine he pushed her away, typed in an amount of money and took out £200 in cash.

The woman tried to fight him off but he used force to keep her away before fleeing the scene.

She was uninjured, and police say no weapon was used in the incident.

Detectives looking for the thief have released this e-fit in a bid to find him.

He is described as white, in his late teens or early twenties and about 5ft 6ins tall.

Daily Echo:

Police say he is of medium build, clean shaven with a pale complexion and short, mousey brown hair.

It is possible he had a freckle or mole on his face, and he was wearing a black coat and dark coloured jeans.

Anyone who saw the incident or has information should call PC Matt Blake at Southampton Central CID on 101.
