An off licence in North Belfast has been robbed by a man armed with a gun and knife.
It happened in the Oldpark Road area at around 10.45 last night.
The man made off with money and alchohol.
No-one was injured in the incident but staff were left shaken.
Detective Sergeant Conlan said:
“We received a report that a man armed with a knife and gun entered an off-licence in the area at around 10.40pm. He subsequently made off with a sum of money and a quantity of alcohol.
"There were no reports of any injuries; however, this must have been a frightening ordeal for staff.
“It’s believed that there may have been two other males waiting outside the premises, and that the three headed off, on foot, towards Ardoyne.
"I am appealing to anyone who has information, or who noticed any suspicious activity in the area around that time, to contact detectives on 101, quoting reference number 2029 of 01/06/19.”
Alternatively, information can be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.
