A bus driver was robbed of £170 at gunpoint by a man who boarded a double decker Stagecoach bus at The Oval in Rose Hill shortly after 6.30pm on Monday.

Police, who described the suspect as mid-20s, of mixed race and 5ft 9ins tall, said he pointed a dark coloured hand gun at the driver and demanded money. He was wearing a large grey puffed jacket with the hood up.

Det Con Charles Ellis, investigating officer, appealed for witnesses to call police on 101.
