Three men arrested after armed raid on Dublin post office released without charge

Three men arrested in connection with an armed raid on a Dublin post office have been released without charge.

Staff and customers at the branch at Leonard's Corner on Clanbrassil St were threatened with a crowbar at lunchtime yesterday.

A gang of three men also brandished a knife during the attack, but fled on foot when they failed to open the safe.

Gardaí arrested three men in a relation to the incident in a nearby flat a short time afterwards.

They have now been released without charge late last night and a file is being prepared for the DPP.
