Shop workers have been threatened and cash and cigarettes have been stolen by two masked men armed with large kitchen knives from a shop in east Belfast.
The pair entered the business on the Albertbridge Road just after 9.40pm last night.
Following the robbery, they fled the scene in the direction of Glenallen Street.
One of the suspects is described as being around 5'7" tall, of a 'stocky' build and possibly aged in his forties.
The second suspect is described as having worn a blue jacket, 'camouflage combat' trousers, of a normal build and around 5' 9'' to 5' 10'' tall and spoke with what was described as a 'raspy' voice.
Detective Sergeant Gardiner said: "This was a terrifying ordeal for staff and, while no one was physically injured, this was a traumatic and frightening ordeal and staff have been left shaken.
"We want to hear from anyone who was in the area between 9:40pm and 9:45pm and saw two males acting suspiciously, or who has information about this crime, to call our detectives at Musgrave on 101, quoting reference number 1958 of 25/03/21."
