A man has been arrested after a taxi driver was robbed at gunpoint in Co Antrim.

A male passenger showed a firearm and demanded cash, before hitting the driver with the gun.

He then fled the scene at the Junction One Shopping centre in Ballymena at half-past midnight, along with another man and a woman.

Shortly afterwards a 20-year-old man was arrested after reports of a break-in at a burger van nearby and criminal damage to a shop.
