A man armed with a gun has stolen a “substantial sum of cash” during a robbery in Co Fermanagh.

“The staff member was uninjured, but has been left badly shaken by their ordeal,” a PSNI spokesperson said.

“I am appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or to anyone with CCTV or other footage that could assist with enquiries, to contact detectives on 101 quoting reference 1267 of 14/04/24.”
