Detectives investigating the £22 million bank raid in Northern Ireland have carried out searches of commercial premises in west Belfast.

The searches took place yesterday at the Blackstaff complex on the Springfield Road.

A PSNI spokeswoman said nothing was recovered in connection with last week's robbery at the Northern Bank in the centre of Belfast.

A number of DVDs were seized during the police operation, but they had no relation to the bank heist.

"Police will continue to pursue every possible line of inquiry in this investigation," the spokeswoman added.
