A masked gang, carrying a suspected firearm and a crowbar, stole cash from a fast food takeaway in Portadown.
Detectives are investigating the robbery which happened during the early hours of this morning on the Lurgan Road.
No one was injured but the staff were left badly shaken following the incident.
Detective Sergeant James Johnston said police received a report shortly after midnight that two masked men entered the rear of the premises on Lurgan Road, both of whom were reported to have been carrying weapons, including a suspected firearm and a crowbar.
He said a third man remained at the rear door of the property.
“The two suspects searched the counter area before fleeing with the third man, and with a sum of money.
“There were staff members present during the incident and, thankfully, no one was physically injured, however, staff have been left understandably shaken,” said Detective Sergeant James Johnston.
Police are appealing for information.
“Our enquiries are continuing this morning, and I want to appeal to anyone who was in the area and saw what happened, or who saw the suspects who are described as having worn dark-coloured clothing to contact us.
“If you were in the Lurgan Road area of Portadown just prior to or after midnight and, if you saw any suspicious activity in the area, please get in touch.
