Detectives in Bangor CID are appealing for witnesses following the armed robbery of two cash in transit security personnel around 10am today (Wednesday 6 January).
Two unknown males approached the security men as they entered the foyer area of the Ards Shopping Centre Mall and threatened them with a knife before making of with a substantial sum of money in a security box.
The men made of in a gold coloured Mondeo that was recovered a short time later in the Windsor Avenue area of the Scrabo Estate. It is believed the robbers abandoned this vehicle in favour of a silver coloured Mitsubishi.
