Gardaí release two men arrested after Co Mayo robbery

Gardaí have released two Dublin men arrested yesterday in connection with a raid on a post office in Ballyhaunis, Co Mayo.

The pair, who were in their late 20s and early 30s, were arrested in Kilbeggan, Co Westmeath, after gardaí followed their car from Athlone.

A five-figure sum of money was recovered from the vehicle and the two men were subsequently questioned about the Ballyhaunis raid and a number of other recent robberies in the midlands.

They were released this morning and a file is now being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
