Staff at a Holyland off-licence were threatened with a knife during an armed robbery 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.
