Armed Men Rob Portadown Business
A business in Portadown has been robbed by two armed men in what police say was a "frightening ordeal" for staff.
The culprits, one armed with a claw hammer and another with a knife, targeted the commercial premises in the Lurgan Road area at around 9.40pm on Monday night, 27 May.
Detective Inspector McCamley said: "The men entered the office and demanded the employees hand over money. The men made off with a sum of cash.
"There were no reports of any injuries, however, this must have been a frightening ordeal for staff who were simply doing their job in their place of work.
"I want to appeal to anyone who has information about this incident, or who saw two males matching the description of the suspects in the area at around 9.35 pm- 9.45 pm to call us on 101, quoting reference number 1799 of 27/05/19."
Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous.
