Security guard stabbed in van raid

A man has been stabbed when thieves robbed a cash van

A man was stabbed when thieves robbed a cash van.

Two men armed with knives attacked two security staff and escaped with a cash box in a dark coloured car at 12.40pm at Shane Retail Park, Boucher Road, Belfast.

A 36-year-old staff member from the cash-in-transit van suffered a stab wound to his side in the robbery, but his injuries are not believed to be life threatening.

Police said the cash box and its contents were recovered at the retail park.

A black Vauxhall Vectra car was found abandoned and on fire in the Norglen Court area of Ballymurphy a short time later.

Detectives said the vehicle is believed to be linked to the robbery and appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
