A taxi driver has been robbed and his car set on fire in west Belfast.
He had picked up three teenage boys on Ravenhill Road at about 0410 GMT on Sunday. They asked him to drop them off at Malvern Street in the Shankill area.

When they arrived, they threatened him and tried to steal the car. They set fire to the seats before stealing money and his satellite navigation system.

The driver managed to put out the fire and was not hurt. Police have appealed for information about the incident.

The sat nav system was later recovered in the grounds of a nearby school.
