TWO MEN HAVE been arrested by gardaí in connection with an armed robbery in Rathfarnham.
At approximately 8.50pm last night, three men entered a supermarket on Grange Road, Rathfarnham armed with what was reported as a baseball bat and a handgun.
They threatened staff and escaped with a sum of money in a waiting car. There were no injuries reported, said gardaí.
A car and suspects were located by gardaí at Whitehall Road in Churchtown a short time later. Following a foot pursuit, two men, one in his early 30’s and the other in his 20’s, were arrested and a handgun was recovered (subject to technical examination).
A quantity of money was also recovered.
The two males are currently in custody in Tallaght Garda Station under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.
