Armed robbery suspects still in custody

Gardaí are continuing to question three men in connection with an armed robbery in Co Meath yesterday.

Just before 5pm, two men entered a shop in Bracetown in Clonee where staff were held up and a sum of cash stolen.

One shot was fired during the raid but no one was injured.

The men escaped in a stolen car, which was found abandoned by officers a short distance from the premises. The firearm was also recovered from the vehicle.

During follow up searches in Finglas by members of Garda Organised Crime Unit three men were arrested.

The men, who are all aged in their 20s, are being held at Finglas Garda Station.
