Man and woman held in connection with Bangor armed robbery

Two men and a woman were arrested today over an armed robbery at a shop in Bangor, Co Down.

A man armed with an axe entered the shop in Central Avenue yesterday afternoon, threatened staff and demanded money. He made off with a sum of cash.

A police spokeswoman said the arrests came after a follow-up search of a house in the seaside town in which a quantity of cash and drugs were seized.
