Two staff members were allegedly threatened by a man 'armed with a knife' in an East Belfast robbery.
PSNI Detective Sergeant McCartan said: “Just after 11.40pm, police received a report that a man armed with a knife had entered a business in the Beersbridge Road area.“The man threatened two staff members with the knife, before making off with a sum of cash in the direction of the city centre. Thankfully, although they were shaken by their ordeal, the staff members were not otherwise injured.
"Our investigations into the circumstances around this incident are ongoing and we would ask anyone who was in the Beersbridge Road area at the time or who may have dashcam, CCTV or other footage, to call detectives on 101, quoting reference number 1715 of 24/12/22.”
