Okay, so a robbery happened in Belfast. It was at an off-licence in the Holyland area. This took place on Agincourt Avenue. This all unfolded on Saturday evening.

Around 4:25 PM, a man went inside the store and threatened two employees with a knife. He then stole some cash and tobacco before running off toward Botanic Avenue. Thankfully, nobody got hurt during this event. However, staff felt traumatized by it all.

The suspect is around 5’10” tall and wore a black jacket with a gray hood. He also had on black pants and light trainers. People think he wore a blue surgical mask and had a red glove on one hand.

Police say this isn’t linked to a stabbing that happened later, also on Agincourt. The stabbing victim was a man in his fifties. Police are asking for your help.
