A pizza takeaway shop in west Belfast has been rammed by a car, robbed and then set on fire in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

The PSNI and NIFRS were called to the incident at Pizza Guyz on the Andersonstown Road.

The road was closed for a period but has since reopened.

Ciaran Kelly owns Pizza Guyz, which first opened on the Andersonstown Road in 2017.

In a social media post, the takeaway shared a picture of the incident, in which significant damage was done to the front of the takeaway.

“So this just happened in the early hours,” they said.

“We got rammed, then robbed and set on fire.

“Any information, please contact the police. The car is a Honda Accord. Two guys caught in garage buying petrol just before, Probably not their smartest move,” the post read.
