Armed robbery at north Belfast bank
Detectives have appealed for information following an armed robbery at a bank in north Belfast yesterday afternoon.
The incident happened at around 1pm, when up to four men – one brandishing a pistol, entered the bank building on the Crumlin Road area of the city.
One of the robbers forced the security guard to his knees, while the others demanded money from a cashier.
They then escaped with a substantial sum of money. No one was injured.
The thieves are all described as being between 5'7 and six feet tall, of thin build, and were all wearing dark coloured clothing and black balaclavas covering their faces.
Police have asked for anyone who witnessed the incident or anyone with any information in connection with it, to contact them on 0845 600 8000, or anonymously on the Crimestoppers number on 0800 555 111.
