Arrests After Antrim Armed Robbery
Four people are being questioned by police in relation to an armed robbery at a Co Antrim home.
Two men aged 27, a 43-year-old man and a woman, 44, have been arrested in connection with the robbery of the family at Dundrod, outside Lisburn on Monday afternoon.
Three masked men, armed with a shotgun and pistol, entered the family home in the Flowbog Road area in Dundrod just before 3pm on Monday.
The family - a couple and their two children aged under five - were forced to sit on the floor while three flat-screen TVs and an amount of money was taken. The robbers subsequently made off in the family’s blue VW Passat car and a Nissan Micra which they are believed to have hijacked on Sunday evening.
The Nissan, which had been stolen from the Lisburn Road are of south Belfast, was later found burnt out in the Twinbrook area.
None of the family members are thought to have been injured during the ordeal.
