Police in separate robbery appeals
Detectives in west Belfast are appealing for witnesses following an armed robbery at an off-license on the Springfield Road on Sunday.
At around 10.40am two men, one armed with a carving knife, entered the premises and threatened two members of staff. They ordered them into a staff room before escaping with the contents of the till, a bottle of whiskey and a mobile phone.
The assailants are believed to have made off in a blue Seat Toledo car belonging to one of the staff members.
