Police hunt raider over Derry business robbery

A masked man forced his way into a business last night, struggled with a staff member and made off with the cash box.

POLICE IN DERRY are on the hunt for a man who carried out a masked raid at a business in the city last night.

It happened at the Pennyburn Industrial Estate at around 11.40pm when the man forced his way into the premises, struggled with a female member of staff and made off with a cash box.

He escaped the scene in a red-coloured car that was being driven by a second man.

The member of staff was shaken by the incident but uninjured, police said.

Anyone with information is being asked to contact the PSNI at Strand Road on 0845 600 8000 or the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

    Derry/londonderry, Ho Chi Minh City, An Daingean/Dingle. It’s what you want to make of it yourself. I say Derry, you feel free to live in the past, as far as I know, it’s officially londonderry within the city walls, and Derry outside, and pennyburn is a good walk from the city walls.

    The official name of the entire city in Londonderry, nothing to do with the walls. You call it Derry if it pleases you.

    2 sad eejits arguing over a name. You’re on an Irish website. We in the 26 call it Derry. Half the population in the North call it Derry. What’s the rugby club called? Where are the Apprentice Boys from? What’s the football team called? What’s your airport called? Yes, that’s right, the answer to all 4 questions is DERRY :D
