Police investigate south Belfast armed robbery
Police are investigating an armed robbery in a shop in South Belfast on Sunday morning.
It happened shortly after 11am when two masked males entered the store and demanded the safe. It is believed that they were armed with a knife while the demands were made.
A PSNI spokesperson said, "The safe was not stolen or anyone injured. However, they may have stolen the female employee's handbag as they ran off from the scene.
"Our investigation is underway and our officers will remain in the wider area today as we pursue these suspects.
"As part of our enquiries, we need your help. Anyone who noticed two males acting suspiciously in the Lisburn Road, Mount Prospect Park and Ulsterville Avenues areas, we'd ask that you contact the police.
"Or if you have any dash-cam or doorbell camera footage covering these areas, please review. This could be information that's key to our ongoing enquiries. Our shops provide a valued service to our communities and their staff should not have to face this trauma."
