06 Sep 2009
Detectives in Musgrave Street are appealing for information following an attempted armed robbery at a fast food outlet on the Castlereagh Road in east Belfast in the early hours of this morning (Sunday 6 September).
Shortly after midnight, two males entered the premises. One of the males jumped over the counter and demanded money. A 25-year-old male member of staff sustained cuts to his hands and arm and was treated in hospital. It is understood that one of the robbers may have been armed with a sharp implement.
The two robbers left empty handed in the direction of nearby Isoline Street. Both are thought to be in their twenties. One was wearing a black anorak, a grey hooded top and had a black scarf covering his face. The second male was wearing a dark coloured jacket and red scarf.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or anyone with any information, is asked to contact CID at Musgrave Street on 0845 600 8000. Alternatively, information can be passed anonymously to the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
