Appeal Over Robbery And Attempted Robbery
Detectives in south Belfast have appealed for information following an attempted robbery at a fast food outlet on the Ormeau Road and a robbery on Rugby Avenue.
It was reported on 4 December that a man armed with a knife entered the premises at around 22:15 and demanded money. Members of staff refused to hand over any money and challenged the man, who then made off towards the city on foot, empty handed.
He is described as being around 5’9” tall and wearing a blue woollen hat, a red & black coat, with a red scarf covering his face.
At about 22:30 police received a report that a woman had been threatened by a man, armed with a knife, and had her handbag stolen in Rugby Avenue.
This man was of a similar description to the person involved in the first incident. The PSNI is investigating a link between the two incidents.
Detective Sergeant Neil Maxwell has appealed for anyone who has any information about either incident to contact CID in Musgrave on 101. Information can also be given anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
