Armed robbery in west Belfast bar
Police in west Belfast have appealed for information following an armed robbery at a public house earlier today.
Three men, armed with a handgun, a shotgun, and a crowbar, entered the licensed premises on the Glen Road area of the city shortly after 9.30am, and threatened the manager.
One of the robbers demanded that the man hand over money, then proceeded to tie him up using plastic cable ties, before making off with a substantial amount of cash.
The manager was not injured during the incident.
One of the thieves is described as being around 35 to 48-years-old and with sandy coloured hair.
He is said to have been wearing a dust mask, a white coloured hard hat, a fluorescent jacket, and was carrying a handgun.
The second robber is described as being around 45-years-old, of heavy build, and was wearing white overalls, a scarf covering his face, dark glasses, and was armed with a shotgun.
The third man is said to be tall, of thin build and was carrying a crowbar.
All three are believed to have had local accents, and were all wearing black woollen gloves.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or who may have any information in relation to it, should contact detectives in west Belfast on 0845 600 8000, or anonymously on the Crimestoppers number on 0800 555 111.
