A lorry containing £120,000 worth of computers and Sony PlayStations has been hijacked and stolen in County Antrim.

More than 140 laptop computers and 18 Play Station 3s were taken during the robbery.

It took place on the Lylehill Road in Templepatrick on Friday afternoon, said police.

A white HGV lorry was driving along the road when a white box van pulled out, forcing the driver to stop.

Two men, one armed with a knife, got out of the van and forced the driver into their vehicle.

The driver was driven around for about two hours. He raised the alarm once he was released in the Derriaghy Way area.

He was shaken, but was not physically hurt, said the PSNI.

The lorry, registration number MV0 2XSD, has not yet been recovered.

The hijacking took place at about 1430 GMT on Friday.
