POLICE have released footage of a man they believe robbed a shop in Belfast city centre earlier this year.

Detective Inspector Tom Phillips said the theft happened on Wednesday February 26 when "shortly after 6pm a man entered the shop, approached the till, and took out a sum of money before making off on foot towards Royal Avenue".

"He was described as being of slim build, aged in his late 20s and was wearing a green zipped up jacket, blue jeans and a woollen hat.

"We have conducted extensive enquiries into the incident and are releasing this footage today to hopefully take our investigation further.
