A knife-wielding man in a hoodie and sunglasses robbed a Sliema toy shop this afternoon, police have confirmed.

The man reportedly walked into Three Little Pigs toy shop on Tigne Street at around 5.15pm and demanded money from a 58-year-old shop assistant on duty at the time.

Nobody was injured and the thief made a quick getaway with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said. 

Magistrate Antonio Micallef Trigona has ordered an inquiry into the hold-up.
