A man has been arrested on suspicion of a range of offences after a taxi driver was robbed at gunpoint in Antrim.
The driver has picked up his fare of two men and a woman on the Ballymena Road, at around 12.30am this morning and took them to Junction One.
On arrival, one of the men who was the front seat passenger, brandished a gun and demanded money, before hitting the driver in the face with the weapon.
The trio then made off.
A short time later, police received reports of a break in at a burger van in the Springfarm area and criminal damage at a shop on the Ballymena Road.
A 20-year-old was detained and remains in custody this morning.
Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact the Reducing Offending Unit in 101, quoting reference 45 18/07/19.
