Police are appealing for information and witnesses following a robbery in Newry on Sunday evening, 27th April.
Detective Sergeant Johnston said: “At approximately 9.55pm, a man aged in his mid-20s entered a casino in the Monaghan Street area of the city, armed with a blade.
“He confronted a staff member with the blade and demanded money from her. He fled the scene on foot with a sum of cash.
“Although unharmed, the staff member was left understandably shaken by what happened – this would have been a terrifying ordeal.
“If you were in the area last night and noticed anything suspicious, we would ask that you call us on 101 quoting reference number 1596 27/04/25.
“Anyone living in this general area or nearby is also asked to review your doorbell, CCTV or dash-cam footage. Your assistance is of great importance to us in our investigation.”
