A man in his 30s has been arrested by police investigating the armed robbery of a bookmakers shop in the Shantallow area of Derry last month.
A suspected firearm was used in the raid on the Ladbrokes betting office on Racecourse Road on 14 December.
It was the first of five armed robberies carried out at Ladbrokes offices in the city over the festive period which prompted the company to offer a £10,000 reward for information leading to a conviction.
Police have said there is no connection between the robberies in which guns, knives and a hammer were used in raids at offices in Pennyburn, Creggan, Elmwood Street and Lecky Road areas.
No one was injured in any of the incidents but staff are believed to have been badly shaken.
A 43 year old man arrested in connection with the raid at the Pennyburn office on 16 December during which two shots were fired has been released on bail pending further enquiries.
