Glock 9mm
Two of the guns stolen were Glock 9mm pistols

An armed gang has stolen a number of handguns from a weapons dealer in County Fermanagh.

Three masked men, one carrying a shotgun, held up the dealer in Garrison at about 1730 GMT Saturday.

The robbers made off with two Glock 9mm pistols, a Sig Sauer 9mm pistol, a Walther .22 pistol and five Hammerli .22 target pistols.

A dark blue Nissan Primera, believed to have been used by the gang, was found burnt out in Belleek at about 1800 GMT.

Police want to hear from anyone who saw the car in Garrison before the robbery, or saw it being driven away.
