A man has today admitted being involved in an armed robbery at a store in Edinburgh in June.
Mohammed Jabran was one of a group involved in stealing a quantity of cash and cigarettes from a convenience store in Colinton Mains Drive on Saturday 2 June 2012.
Inquiries are ongoing to trace another two men in connection with the incident, and police continue to appeal for anyone with any information regarding this incident to contact them on 0131 311 3131.
Detective Inspector Gordon McCreadie said: “”We acknowledge the people involved have been spared the ordeal of going to trial as although no one was injured in this incident, this was a terrible experience for them.
“Fortunately this kind of incident involving a weapon is unusual in our area, but we would like to reassure the local community that Lothian and Borders Police will not tolerate any form of gun crime, and will robustly pursue anyone involved in this kind of criminal activity.”
Mohammed Jabran will be sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh on 4 October 2012.
