Police in Table View were called out to an armed robbery in Link Road, Parklands yesterday afternoon. The robbery occurred in front of a business premises.

The incident occurred after the owner of the business returned from a bank and parked his vehicle, a blue Opel Astra, in the parking area in front of his business.
