A shop worker has been left badly shaken after being threatened by two men, one armed with a knife, in Belfast. 

The pair entered an off-licence in the Lisburn Road area, just before 8.50pm last night. 

Police say one of them went behind the counter, threatened the woman before they made off with a sum of cash, heading along Chadwick Street. 

One of the suspects is described as being between 5'10" and 6" in height, aged in his mid to late twenties, with a brown goatee-style beard and wearing a navy puffa-type jacket. 

The second suspect is described as being around 5' 5" in height and of slim build and wearing a bright blue raincoat. 

Detective Sergeant Gardiner said, “This was a terrifying ordeal for the staff member who, while physically uninjured, has been left shaken.
