Hijacking incident in south Belfast
Police in Belfast have appealed for information following a hijacking incident in the city yesterday afternoon.
Shortly before 12.50pm, a man, who was making a delivery to a business on the Lisburn Road, was approached by two men armed with a screwdriver.
They threatened the delivery man and got into his Mercedes van and drove him to the Shankhill Road area of the city, before letting him go.
The hijackers then made off in the vehicle, which contained a large quantity of clothing worth a substantial sum of money.
The robbers are described as being of heavy build, and were both wearing blue jackets, jeans, baseball caps, dark glasses, and gloves.
