There is no link between the armed robberies which took place at bookie offices in Derry over the festive period, police have said.ladbrkenew

In all, five betting offices run by Ladbrokes were targeted by armed and masked raiders in a 13 day period.

Guns, knives and a hammer were used to threaten staff at offices in Shantallow, Pennyburn, Creggan, Elmwood Street and the Brandywell.

Two shots were fired during the raid at the office at St Francis Terrace in the Collon area of Pennyburn.

No one was injured in the incidents but staff are believed to have been left badly shaken.

Derry Sinn Fein MLA Maeve McLaughlin, who has called for extra police resources for the city following the robberies, was due to meet PSNI chiefs today to discuss the situation.

A PSNI spokesperson said police were not linking the incidents “at this stage.”

The spokesperson said police were appealing to anyone with any informatiopn or who saw anything suspicious to report it to Strand Road Police Station on 0845 600 8000.

The spokesperson added: “Or if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
