A hooded man armed with a knife entered a grocery shop in St Julian's early today and made off with the cash register after pushing the 20-year-old employee aside, the police said.
No one was injured in the hold up in Triq San Ġorġ at 5.45am.
The police went on site after they were informed that a man was seen running with a cash register.
Preliminary investigations show the man grabbing the register before rushing out.
