Six held as robbery foiled
Six men were seized today as a major undercover police operation foiled an armed robbery in the North.
Up to five police cars swooped on the gang as an attempt was made to raid a security van outside a bank in Antrim.
A man working in a near-by shop said: “It was like something out of Miami Vice.”
It is believed police had been acting on a tip-off and had staked out the area before moving in.
A spokeswoman said no one was injured during the operation.
A gun was recovered at the scene, she added.
