Police in separate robbery appeals
Detectives in west Belfast are appealing for witnesses following an armed robbery at an off-license on the Springfield Road on Sunday.
At around 10.40am two men, one armed with a carving knife, entered the premises and threatened two members of staff. They ordered them into a staff room before escaping with the contents of the till, a bottle of whiskey and a mobile phone.
The assailants are believed to have made off in a blue Seat Toledo car belonging to one of the staff members.
They are described as being in their early 20s and wearing white hooded tops which they used to cover their faces.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact detectives at Grosvenor Road on 028 9065 0222 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
Elsewhere, detectives in Lisburn are appealing for information following an armed robbery at a chemist’s shop in the town.
