Gardaí seek public’s help in finding post office raider

Gardaí are hoping this picture of the getaway car used in an armed raid on a post office will prompt the public to provide them with vital information which will lead to the culprit.

At approximately 10.30am yesterday, a lone raider armed with what appeared to be a sawn-off shotgun burst into the post office at Little Island, on the eastern outskirts of Cork City, and demanded cash from a female employee.

He escaped in a green Ford Focus hatchback with what gardaí described as “a relatively small amount of cash”.
