Three arrested following armed robbery in Dublin

Three men have been arrested after an armed robbery in the Raheny area of Dublin yesterday evening.

Raiders wearing masks and armed with a gun and a baseball bat entered a convenience store at the Edenmore shopping centre shortly before half past six.

They demanded money before fleeing with a small amount of cash and some cigarettes.

Two men were detained for questioning closeby, soon after the incident, and a third man was detained later.
