Garda quizzed over series of armed robberies

A SUSPENDED garda was last night being questioned in connection with a series of armed robberies in the north Louth area.

The 42-year-old, on remand and facing a trial on separate charges in the near future, was arrested early yesterday morning at his home in Drogheda.

He was taken to Dundalk Garda Station where he was questioned by detectives involved in an ongoing investigation into a number of armed robberies in the area over the last year.
