Lyttle condemns robbery in East Belfast

Alliance East Belfast MLA Chris Lyttle has condemned the robbery at an off-licence on the Castlereagh Road on Thursday night. Two men armed with hammers threatened a member of staff before making off with a sum of money. No one was hurt during the robbery.

Chris Lyttle MLA said: “The men who carried out this robbery are nothing but a pair of thugs who are not offering anything to our society.

“I hope that the member of staff threatened during the robbery will be able to get over what must have been a traumatic experience.

“If anybody has any information about this robbery then I would urge them to contact the police.”
