Teenagers shot in paramilitary style attacks
Two teenagers have been shot in separate paramilitary-style attacks in County Antrim.
A 19-year-old man was treated in hospital after being shot in the legs in Newtownabbey. He was found on Monday, November 5, at the back of a derelict house in Deerfinn Park in the Rathcoole area around 7.15 pm.
Meanwhile, a 16-year-old youth was admitted to hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg at about 9.30pm on Monday. He was found at the back of the Cavehill Inn in north Belfast.
Meanwhile, two pharmacies have been robbed in west and south Belfast. Three armed men stole money and ten boxes of Tamazepam tablets when they held up a pharmacy on the Andersonstown Road, Belfast on Monday, November 5, 2001. The thieves were armed with a knife, a crossbow and a hammer. They entered the shop just before 3pm, threatened staff and then made off in a white Volvo car registration number KDZ 9190. Around an hour later two men -one armed with a crossbow - went into a chemist's shop at Kingsway Dunmurry. Again money and Tamazepam tablets were taken. The same car was used for a getaway. It was later found at Upper Green, Dunmurry. Police have appealed for any witnesses to come forward. (AMcE)
