Thieves arrested after crashing car

FOUR men who robbed a service station at knifepoint were arrested early yesterday morning when they crashed their getaway car after a 15-mile chase.

A senior garda spokesman said that the men had gone into O’Leary’s service station in Lissarda, County Cork at around 9pm on Sunday where one of them threatened a female member of staff with a knife.

He grabbed approximately €700 from the till while his accomplices took bottles of wine and other items before fleeing in a car.
