PSNI begin hunt for armed raiders

Detectives in the North are today hunting two armed masked men who held up staff in a fast food outlet.

One worker needed hospital treatment after he was hit in the face with the gun during the robbery on the Crumlin Road in north Belfast at about 11.30pm last night.

The second suspect was armed with a knife.

Meanwhile, PSNI officers in east Belfast are appealing for information following a robbery at commercial premises on the Cregagh Road at 1pm yesterday.

The staff member was threatened and the suspect, who was not armed and said to be about 5ft 8ins tall, fled with cash.
