This is the moment thieves smash into a Newry barbershop before making off with the till.

At approximately 5am on November 5, a dark coloured A4 Audi estate car pulls up outside the barber shop on Monaghan Street in the city.

Two suspects are seen getting out of the vehicle while a getaway drivers sit in wait.

One of the suspects proceeds to break the window of the shop with a breeze block.

The other suspect then enters the store and takes a till and cash box containing £160 in cash.

They then make off in the same dark coloured Audi in the direction of Daisy Hill Hospital.

Four male suspects then proceed to get out of the car.

One suspect goes to the gate to keep a look out whilst the other three force the door of the store. They then run back to the vehicle and drive off at approximately 4:27am.
