Shooting at Co Fermanagh hotel

Police have said it is now believed four men, rather than three, were involved in the shooting outside a hotel in Belleek on Tuesday morning.

The gang, wearing dark coloured overalls with white stripes and balaclavas, threatened staff at the Main Street premises before firing one shot into a contractor’s van.

No-one was injured.

Police appealed for information as a cross-border investigation continues, following the discovery of a burned-out car thought to be linked to the incident.

Detective Inspector Trevor Stevenson added: “The men made off in a black coloured Ford Escort car in the direction of the border.

“A car matching the description was discovered on fire a short time later in the Derrynacross Road area of Garrison where it is believed that the four males then left in a second unknown vehicle.

“Local officers are continuing to work closely with An Garda Siochana to trace their movements.”
