Around 9am on Wednesday, 20 August, two men with a firearm in their possession, held up a cash delivery and made off with a case of cash. The men drove off in a blue Opel Corsa Combi van, registration 97-D-42356. This vehicle was later found burnt out in the Ferryhill Road area of Newry. The case of cash was also recovered at this location.
Detective Constable Sarah Lyttle made the following appeal: "We have made a number of enquiries and believe the men made off from the burnt vehicle in a white, high top, Transit van towards Cottage Road in Newry. We are assisting An Garda Siochana with their investigation and I would really like to hear from anyone who was in the Ferryhill Road/Cottage Road area, between 9am and 10am on Wednesday, 20 August, and noticed either of the two vehicles described above. We are available in Newry CID on the 101 non-emergency number."
