Man arrested after masked raider threatens Cork home owner with knife

A man has been arrested in Cork this morning by gardai investigating an incident in which a masked raider armed with a knife forced his way into a house and made off with cash.

The incident occurred on Barrack St shortly after 7pm last Friday when a man wearing a balaclava, and armed with what gardai believe was a knife, forced his way into a house on the street and demanded cash from the occupant of the house.
