Witnesses are being sought after a suspected hijack attempt in Lurgan.

It happened just before midday on Friday the 24th February in Victoria Street.

Four men approached a lorry driver who was making a delivery to a chip shop.

It's understood one tried to get into the lorry's cab while the others banged on windows and blocked the driver's path.

The driver managed to defend himself and escaped in the lorry uninjured.

The men are believed to be between 5'8" and 6 feet tall and police say they may have been drunk or on drugs.

Anyone with information is asked to get in touch by dialling 101.
