Police search for gang of robbers
Police are searching for a three-man gang who are believed to be responsible for three robberies in under an hour.
At around 6pm yesterday, three men entered a service station at Nutts Corner, on the Belfast Road in County Antrim and threatened staff.
They escaped with a sum of money in a blue coloured Honda Civic car, which had been reported as stolen earlier in the day.
The robbers are said to be wearing hooded tops and dark coloured glasses.
Later at 6.30pm, three men are reported to have robbed a petrol station just outside Moira on the Glenavy Road in County Down, approximately 13 miles away.
A third incident was reported just before 7pm, when three men also robbed a post office at Carlisle Circus, north Belfast.
A police spokesman has confirmed that they believe all three incidents to be linked and have appealed for anyone with any information on either of the robberies, to contact them on 0845 600 8000, or on the Crimestoppers number on 0800 555 111.
