Police probing an alleged attempted knife-point robbery have arrested a 16-year-old.
Detective Sergeant Richard Donnell has appealed for witnesses to the purported crime in commercial premises at Lisnafin Park, Strabane yesterday afternoon.
A PSNI spokesperson said: "The (alleged) incident occurred shortly before 2pm yesterday.
"It was reported that two males, both described as being aged in their mid to late teens, wearing dark-coloured clothing and of a slim build, entered the commercial premises at Lisnafin Park in the town, one of whom was armed with what is believed to have been a knife, and demanded money from the lone staff member.
"The perpetrators, however, left empty handed and fled from the shop."
The teenager remains in police custody this morning.
Detective Sergeant Richard Donnell is asking anyone who has information which may help the police investigation to call detectives at Strand Road on 101, and quote reference number 707 of 02/04/20, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
