Police have issued an appeal following an armed robbery of a service station in Belfast.
A report was made at around 6.35pm on Tuesday 13 November that two men entered the York Street premises, one believed to be armed with a knife and the other with a pipe.

It is understood that a third man remained at the door of the premises during the robbery.
The culprits then made their way up North Queen Street into Spamount Street.
