Hunt after screwdriver raid

Gardaí are following a definite line of enquiry after a man armed with a screwdriver robbed a filling station on the outskirts of Cork City yesterday.

The lone raider, aged in his late 20s or early 30s, walked into the Topaz station on the Carrigrohane road at about midnight and threatened staff with the screwdriver.

He demanded they hand over the contents of the till before fleeing on foot in the direction of Cork City with about €500 in cash.
