Three arrested in connection with armed robbery
Three men have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery of a security van in County Down yesterday morning.
Police have said that a man, dressed in a fluorescent jacket and armed with a knife, approached the security guard while he was making a delivery to a grocery store on the Hill Street area of Newry, just before 10am. The cash box was snatched from the guard's hand.
The robber then made off in a silver coloured car, which was driven by a second person.
The car was later found abandoned in the Craigmore Road area of the town and the stolen cash box was also recovered.
A short time later, police stopped a car and arrested three men aged 27, 28 and 32 in connection with the robbery.
