Police are appealing for witnesses after an off licence was robbed on Friday afternoon.
It was reported that a man entered the premises on the Suffolk Road at around 1pm and as he was making a purchase proceeded to jump across the counter and grab a sum of money.
He then forced his way out of the store through the front door and made off with the cash.
Detectives investigating the robbery have released a description of the suspect.
Sergeant O'Flaherty said: "The suspect is described as being of a skinny build, possibly aged in his late twenties, with short dark hair. He is reported to have worn a navy tracksuit top with the hood pulled up, navy bottoms with a black or navy baseball cap and light grey and white trainers.
"This was a frightening ordeal for the staff member who was in his place of work where he was simply doing his job. Thankfully, he didn't suffer any physical injuries.
"I want to appeal to anyone who was in the area and saw what occurred, or anyone who believes they may have seen a male matching the description of the suspect, to contact detectives at Musgrave by calling 101 and quoting reference number 1149 of 01/11/19."
