Detectives in Belfast have issued an appeal for witnesses following an armed robbery at a shop on Suffolk Road on Saturday, 24 February.
At about 7.45pm, two men, one carrying a hammer and one carrying a knife entered the shop and threatened a member of staff and demanded money from the till. They made off with a sum of cash along with a third male who was waiting outside citywards on Glen Road in the direction of Lenadoon.
They are described as being aged in their late teens. The male with the hammer was wearing a black North Face jacket with a grey hooded top underneath, navy bobble hat with grey bobble and neon orange stripe around the turn up, dark bottoms and dark coloured trainers.

Detective Sergeant Keith Wilson is appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident or anyone with any information that can assist with the investigation to contact detectives in Musgrave Police Station on 101 quoting reference 1137 of 24/02/18.
