Cash and cigarettes were stolen from a shop in the Ormeau Road area of south Belfast yesterday evening (Sunday 24 October).
Shortly before 10pm, two men armed with scissors and a razor, entered the premises and threatened staff and customers who were in the shop at the time.
Detective Sergeant Keith Wilson said the pair stole a sum of money from the till along with a large quantity of cigarettes before making off on foot.
It is believed that there was possibly a third man with them who did not enter the shop.
“Anyone who may have witnessed this incident or who may have any information in relation to those involved, is asked to contact detectives on 101 quoting reference 1873 of 24/10/21,” said Detective Sergeant Keith Wilson.
