A taxi driver has had a knife held to his throat during an armed robbery in County Tyrone.

It happened on Saturday morning in the car park of the Glenavon Hotel near Cookstown.

A male back seat passenger threatened the driver and demanded money.

He is described as about 18-years-old, 5ft 5ins tall, of slight build and with a spotty complexion.
