The incident is believed to have taken place between 12.30am and 1.30am, in an underpass linking Innes Street and Rose Street.

Both men are described as being dressed in dark clothing.

Detective Constable Claire Maclean, of Highland and Islands Division CID, said: “Enquiries into the robbery are at an early stage.
