A man has been arrested by police investigating an alleged robbery in South Belfast.
A shop on the Dublin Road was robbed by a man who used a broom handle to threaten staff into giving him money and cigarettes on Sunday at around 8.35pm, police said.
Sergeant Jonny Adams said: "Later that evening police arrested a 24-year-old male on suspicion of robbery and he is currently in custody assisting us with our enquiries.
"The members of staff were not physically injured, but there is no doubt they have been left distressed by what can only be described as an extremely frightening ordeal which occurred in their place of work.
"I want to appeal to anyone who has information which may assist our investigation to call detectives at Musgrave on 101, quoting reference number 1662 of 24/11/19."
