DETECTIVES are appealing for witnesses and information following the report of a robbery at a shop in Derry this morning, Sunday, February 17.
Detective Sergeant Richard Donnell said: “We received a report just after 10.20 am that a male had entered a shop on Blucher Street armed with what was described as a butcher knife and demanded money from the till.
“He subsequently made off with a sum of money from the till.
“The staff member was not injured, but they were left shaken.
“The suspect is described as being aged in his teens , and is reported to have worn a hat and a black rain jacket.
“I am appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time and who saw a man matching the description of the suspect, or anyone who knows anything about the incident to contact detectives at Strand Road on 101, quoting reference number 527 of 16/02/19.”
