The PSNI have issued an appeal for information and witnesses following a violent incident in west Belfast on Tuesday, 13 June.

According to police, at around 1.30pm yesterday, three men approached a property in the Fallswater Street area. At the property, one of the three men is believed to have produced a firearm and threatened a female residence.

The men then made off on foot in the direction of Iveagh Street, where they are believed to have gotten into a black vehicle and drove towards Broadway.

The residents of the property were left badly shaken but unharmed.

One of the suspects is described as being around 5ft 6in tall, wearing a baseball cap with his face uncovered and a black zip-up coat. A second man is reported to be aged in his 60s and approximately 6ft tall. The third man was wearing a face covering.
