Police are hunting an armed robber who held up a west London gaming arcade.
The Metropolitan Police's Flying Squad have released this image of their number one suspect
On Saturday, March 16 at 9.50pm, a male entered Silver Time on Earl's Court Road, Earl's Court.

The suspect obtained a quantity of cash and fled the store.

This was a terrifying incident for the members of staff within the store, who were threatened with a firearm.
The sooner we can identify the person who carried out this violent offence, the sooner we can prevent him from inflicting the same terror on anyone else.
