Armed robbery terror for shop worker
A female shop worker has been threatened and money stolen during an armed robbery in Derry.
Police say the robbery took place at business premises in Carlisle Road last night (February 20).
“At approximately 8.30pm, it was reported that a man carrying a hammer entered a shop in the area and threatened a female staff member while the second man remained at the door of the premises,” a PSNI spokesman says.
“It is believed that a sum of money was taken during the incident. The female member of staff was left badly shaken, but not injured. One of the men is described as being approximately 5’10” tall, of slim build wearing blue bottoms, blue jacket and a grey top.
