Detectives are appealing for information after a 23-year-old man was robbed in Johnstone on Sunday, 23 May, 2021.

Around 11.30pm on Sunday night, the man was within Johnstone High School car park, off Beith Road, when he met with a female described as of heavy build, aged 40-50s, with some missing teeth, blonde/brown hair in a ponytail, wearing a grey jumper and was driving a small white car.
