Belfast shop 'robbed by man armed with hammer who then got into a taxi'

Police are appealing for witnesses after an 'armed robbery' at a shop on the Shankill Road.

It's reported a man entered the premises with a hammer before making off with money on Wednesday morning, March 24.

It's believed he then got into a taxi at Agnes Street.

PSNI Detective Sergeant Fairfield said: “It was reported that at approximately 10am, a man armed with a hammer entered the premises, threatened staff and demanded they open the till.

"The robber, who was wearing a light grey hoodie, blue jeans which were ripped on the right knee and a blue Harrington style waterproof jacket, made off with a sum of money.

"It’s believed he then got into a taxi at Agnes Street. Our enquiries are continuing, and I am appealing to anyone who has any information to call detectives on 101, quoting reference number 423 of 24/03/21.”

A report can also be submitted online using the non-emergency reporting form via http://www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/.
