Security guard stabbed in van raid

A security guard was stabbed when thieves robbed a cash van.

Two men armed with knives attacked two security staff and escaped with a cash box 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.
