Credit Union Robbed In West Belfast

A credit union has been robbed in west Belfast.

The incident occurred on the Springfield Road on Thursday just after 5pm.

Two men, one armed with a firearm, approached a female staff member and demanded money. One of the men was wearing a cream hooded top and the other a black hooded top.

They made off with a sum of money in a red Mitsubishi Carisma driven by a third man.

Detective Sergeant Natalie McNally said: "Enquiries into this incident are ongoing and I would ask for anyone who noticed the red coloured Mitsubishi car or any suspicious activity in the area between just before 5 pm or anyone with any information to contact detectives at Musgrave on 101.
