Four men are due to appear in court this morning in connection with a robbery at Blooms jewellers in Ballyclare.
The men, aged 27, 29, 30 and 45 have been charged with a number of offences including robbery and possession of an offensive weapon and are due at Belfast Magistrates Court this morning (Saturday 5 October).
As is usual procedure the charges will be reviewed by the PPS.
Detectives investigating the robbery would like to hear from anyone who may have seen a silver Vauxhall Corsa reg RCZ 3688, a silver Renault Megane reg DJZ 4401, or a man wearing shorts and a Northern Ireland football shirt running along Green Road or Ballyclare on Thursday evening.
The 45-year-old man was also charged with fraud by false representation and obtaining money by deception, and will also appear at Belfast Magistrates court this morning in connection with those charges.
These charges are in connection with an incident in July in which a victim was duped via email into transferring a large sum of money into a ‘scam’ account.
The charges will be reviewed by the PPS.
Detectives can be contacted on 101.
