A prompt reaction required after Oldpark robbery says McCabe


Sinn Fein's Gerry McCabe welcomed the prompt reaction of the PSNI after another Oldpark robbery. The Ardoyne Councillor said,

"This is the latest in a series of robberies of local businesses and I welcome the prompt reaction of the PSNI.

This example of community policing is what local traders and residents want to see from police.

While details remain unclear I'm lead to believe that the Ombudsman is now involved given that weapons were drawn on the masked occupants of the crashed car.

A woman was injured in the crash and has been taken to hospital and I hope she makes a speedy recovery.

My colleague Gerry Kelly MLA suffered a similar impact earlier in the week when his car was rammed by a get away car being chased by police.

Clearly people want to see these robberies stopped but caution must be taken to ensure the safety of the public during these types of pursuits" said the Ardoyne Councillor.
