Armed robbers threaten Florist staff
Detectives in Newtownabbey are appealing for information following an armed robbery at a Florist shop on Monday afternoon.
Shortly after 4.30pm, two masked men entered the shop in the Ballyclare Road area of Glengormley armed with handguns. The men threatened the staff and removed the contents of the till before one female staff member was pushed and her handbag rifled.

One of the robbers is described as being in his early twenties, around 5’5” tall, of stocky build with blonde hair and wearing a blue tracksuit. The second robber was wearing a green coloured tracksuit top. Both men had Belfast accents.
Anyone who witnessed the incident, or who can help detectives in any way is asked to contact Newtownabbey CID on 028 9065 0222 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
