Police issue photofit of robbery men
Police have issued a photofit of two men they believe were behind last week's £1.2 million delivery van robbery in south Belfast.
One is believed to be in his late 20s to early 30s, of medium build, average height with very short dark hair. He was wearing a light-coloured jumper.
The second man is described as being in his late 20s to early 30s, approximately 5' 9" tall, of medium build with very short dark hair and a few day's stubble. He was wearing a light-coloured t-shirt and spoke with a Belfast accent.
Police investigating the robbery at Creighton's Garage on the Upper Lisburn Road revisited the scene on Tuesday.
Detectives stopped motorists in the Diamond Gardens area between 7.30am and 8.30am in an effort to gather information which might help their inquiries.
Detectives said the Upper Lisburn Road would have been busy with traffic on the morning of the delivery drop and called on anyone who may have noticed a Brinks van or a blue Renault Megane either parked at Diamond Gardens or travelling along Richmond Park to contact them on 028 9065 0222 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
