DETECTIVES are appealing for information following the robbery of commercial premises in the Trinity Street area of Belfast yesterday.

Police say that at around approximately 5 pm on Wednesday, February 17, two unknown men entered the premises.

One of these males assaulted a member of staff whilst the other male stole a quantity of grey, black and camouflage men’s ‘Snickers’ trousers.

Both men left the scene on foot.

The male member of staff attended hospital for treatment to his injuries, which are not believed to be life threatening.

Detective Inspector Nigel Snoddy said: “I would appeal to anyone who has information about this incident or who may have noticed anyone acting suspiciously in the area to contact Detectives at Reactive and Organised Crime at Musgrave PSNI Station on the non-emergency number 101.

“Or, if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
