Detectives are appealing for information and witnesses following a robbery at commercial premises in east Belfast this morning, 2 April.

Detective Sergeant Alexander: "Officers attended the scene and spoke with staff who reported that the man, described as approximately 6ft tall and aged 25-30 years old, had pointed the gun at them before making off with cash, cigarettes and vapes.
"Thankfully, although shaken by the frightening ordeal, the staff were not otherwise injured. Our investigation is ongoing.
