Shop assistant threatened with meat cleaver during robbery

A shop assistant has been treated for shock after being threatened by two men armed with a meat cleaver and a baseball bat in Dunmurry on Tuesday.

The pair demanded the woman hand over cash before the raider who was carrying the baseball bat smashed the till and grabbed a small sum of money.

As the man and his accomplice were leaving the shop he smashed a glass counter.

A woman who witnessed the robbery was "very shaken" but otherwise uninjured.
