Three masked men, believed to be carrying guns have threatened staff in a shop in Co.Antrim.

The men burst in to the premises on the Harbour Road in Carnlough shortly before 11 last night before making off with cash and cigarettes.

It's understood the gang then went in the direction of the Waterfoot area.

The members of staff were not injured but left shaken by their ordeal.

A red Hyundai Accent car, believed to have been involved in the incident, was found on fire on Tower Road a short time later.
