Armed raiders tie woman up and steal cash

Gardaí are searching for three masked raiders armed with a rifle, hammer, and taser who burst into a woman’s house, tied her up, and robbed her of a substantial amount of cash.

The woman, who is in her late 50s, was alone in her family home on the outskirts of Cork on Wednesday when shortly before 9pm, she heard a noise outside.

She went out to investigate and was confronted by the three men who were wearing balaclavas.
