FOUR men were arrested after a woman was attacked during an armed robbery in Co Antrim.
Police said four men armed with baseball bats and hammers entered a shop in the Mill Road area of Ballyclare on Thursday at around 4pm.
"The men smashed cabinets and assaulted a female member of staff who was pushed to the ground and struck on the wrist with a hammer,” a spokesman said.
"The males made off with a quantity of jewellery.
"This was a distressing incident for the member of staff who has been left badly shaken. No-one should be made to feel unsafe in the workplace.
"Four males aged 27, 29, 30 and 45 have been arrested and remain in custody at this time assisting with enquiries."
Police have appealed for witnesses to contact them.
