Staff members of an off licence in South Belfast have been left shaken following an armed robbery involving a claw-hammer.
It happened on the Upper Malone Road just before 10 o'clock last night.
Two men entered the shop, threatened staff and then fled with a sum of cash from the till in the direction of Taughmonagh estate.
The first man who was armed with the hammer, was described as in his late 20s to early 30s, 6ft 1in tall, of slim to average build with short dark hair and was wearing a dark hoody with white writing on it and dark bottoms.
The second male, described as being of similar build and age, was wearing a khaki green or beige padded coat and a scarf across his face.
No one was physically harmed during the robbery.
Police are appealing for anyone with further information to contact detectives at Musgrave Criminal Investigation Branch on 101 quoting reference 1368 of 2/3/18.
