Pair sought after youth dies in car crash

Police are seeking two men after they fled from the scene of a car crash that is thought to have killed a 17-year-old in east Belfast.

The body of teenager Warren Allen from Cheviot Street was found near to the vehicle, which ended up in a stream after leaving the road at the Lower Braniel Road and Glen Road at around 8.30am on Sunday morning.

Police believe that the occupants of the car may have been involved in an armed robbery carried out earlier on Sunday at a petrol station in the area.
