Four men have attempted to rob a shop in Dungannon, County Tyrone.
The men, one of whom was armed with a hammer, entered the shop on Scotch Street at around 16:20 on Sunday evening and demanded money from a staff member.
The staff member managed to get away and alerted a colleague, while one of the robbers began to hit the shop till with the hammer. The men then left empty handed.

Anyone who noticed any suspicious activity in the area or anyone who knows anything about this incident is asked to contact the Neighbourhood Policing Team in Coleraine Police Station on the non-emergency number 101.
Couple Robbed In Bedroom
An elderly couple have been left shocked after their home in Newry, County Down, was burgled.
The robbery occurred at the property in the Newtown Road area shortly after midnight on Sunday.
Two men, one of whom was carrying an iron bar and another who had a torch, forced entry into the couple's bedroom and demanded money, before grabbing a handbag and making off with a sum of cash.
One of the men is described as being approximately 25 to 30 years old, around 5' 8" tall, of slim build and with fair hair cut short but not shaven. He spoke with a local Newry accent.
The second is reported to be smaller and of heavier build, with fair hair and a fair complexion.
Detectives have appealed to anyone who witnessed the incident or anyone with any information to contact them at Ardmore Police Station on the non-emergency number 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
