Struggle As Males Rob Belfast Business
Police are hunting two men in connection with a robbery in east Belfast on Sunday afternoon, 09 June.
A female staff member was left frightened after the traumatic ordeal at a business on the Mountpottinger Road at around 1pm.
Two males entered the commercial premises and a struggle ensued between the employee and a suspect who leapt over the counter while the till was open. The men fled with a sum of money, leaving the member of staff with an injury to her arm.
Detective Sergeant Stephen Gardiner said it is possible they made off in a red-coloured Renault Megane.
One of the suspects is described as being aged in his late twenties, with short ginger hair, tall and of a heavy build. He wore a green-coloured jacket that had two white stripes across the body.
The second suspect is believed to be his twenties, shorter than the other suspect, of average build and with dark hair. He wore a black jacket, grey track bottoms and black trainers with white stripes.
DS Gardiner said: "This was an extremely traumatic ordeal for the staff member who, while doing her job, suffered a frightening experience. No one should have to endure this type of ordeal.
"I want to appeal to anyone who was in the area just prior to 1pm and until 1:15pm and saw two males matching the description of the suspects acting suspiciously, or who believes they saw a vehicle matching that reported to have been used by the suspects, to get in touch with us."
Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call detectives at Musgrave on 101, quoting reference 931 of 09/06/19. Details can also be provided anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
