Woman left shaken after armed robbery in Derry

A woman has been left badly shaken after an armed robbery in Derry last night.

At around 8:10pm, a masked man entered a shop in Moss Park, brandishing a metal tool.

As he attempted to get behind the counter, a female customer attempted to stop him before the man jumped over the counter, grabbed an item and ran away.

The suspect wore a green hooded top, with the top pulled up, black trousers and dark shoes. His face was fully covered with a black mask.

Detective Sergeant Ballentine says this was a brazen act that was distressing and shocking for those impacted.

Police are appealing for information.
