Two delivery men have been robbed at gunpoint in GAA club grounds in west Belfast.

The men were on the Falls Road shortly after 1200 GMT on Wednesday when they were approached by two men armed with a handgun and a knife.

The driver was forced to take a lorry to the GAA club grounds on the Whiterock Road where four other men were waiting.

There he was forced to help them unload alcohol into two waiting vehicles.

The gang then made their escape, leaving the two delivery men in the grounds of the GAA club.
