A man threatened staff at a Lisburn shop with a knife before making off with a sum of cash and items from the shop – and dumped his clothing.
The armed robbery happened this morning at Knockmore Road (Friday, January 18) at around 9:40am.
Detectives in Lisburn are appealing for information.
Detective Sergeant McGrory said shortly after 9.40am, a male entered the premises on Knockmore Road and threatened staff with a knife before fleeing.
“It is believed the man abandoned some clothing nearby shortly after the incident and we would ask anyone who may come across a red and black jacket, grey trousers or black sports bag not to touch them and contact police immediately,” he said.
A 27-year-old man has since been arrested in relation to the incident and is currently in custody assisting police with their enquiries. Anyone with information is asked to contact 101 quoting reference 256 18/01/19.
