Police have issued a description of the suspect
A Belfast shop worker was threatened as she attempted to contact police during a robbery in South Belfast.
PSNI Detective Sergeant McCartan explained: “Just before 8.20pm police received a report that a man, whose face was covered by a dark scarf, had entered a business in the vicinity of Ormeau Park and demanded cash.“One member of staff was threatened when she attempted to contact police before the man made off with a sum of cash in the direction of the city centre. Thankfully, although they were shaken by their ordeal, the two staff members present were not otherwise injured.
"Our investigations into the circumstances around this matter have just begun and we would ask anyone who was in the Ormeau Road area at the time or who may have dashcam, CCTV or other footage, to call detectives on 101, quoting reference number 1936 of 10/02/23.”
