Shortly before midnight on Sunday 7 June a robbery at a Chinese takeway close to Castlereagh Parade was reported to police.

The staff were told to stay in a back room while cash was removed.
A fire was deliberately set inside the premises, causing extensive damage.
Detectives seeking witnesses would like to speak to a male motorist who stopped his car close to the takeaway to help a member of staff shortly after the robbery.
