Staff at a business in Co Antrim have been left “shaken” after being threatened by a gang of masked men who entered the premises.

Around five masked men gained access to the property at Shore Road in Newtownabbey shortly before 8.45pm.

A PSNI spokesperson said the staff were threatened before the men left.



”No one was injured, however the staff members were understandably left shaken by their ordeal,” the spokesperson said.

”I am appealing to anyone who was in the area or to anyone who may have footage that could assist with enquiries to contact police on 101 quoting reference 1592 of 16/01/25.
