Masked gunmen threaten brothers

graphic

A 21-year-old man has been threatened by two masked men armed with a gun outside his home in west Belfast.

The man, who is the manager of an off-licence, was confronted by the men in Dalebrook Park in Finaghy at around 2230 GMT on Friday night.

They threatened the man, and his 20-year-old brother, and demanded the keys to the business.

When the brothers refused, the men ran away. Police have appealed to anyone in the area at the time to contact them.

The man with the gun was described as being between 35 to 40-years-old, tall and of stocky build.

He was wearing a black balaclava-style mask, black gloves, brown jumper, white t-shirt, light brown jacket and blue jeans.

His accomplice is thought to be between 30 to 35-years-old, of medium build and was wearing the same style of mask and a black jacket.

He also had ginger stubble on his face.
