ONE PERSON HAS been arrested after an armed robbery on a bank at Montrose, south Dublin this morning.
Two men held up a branch of Bank of Ireland at around 11.30am with a firearm, threatening staff at the bank on the Stillorgan Road.
They left with a small amount of cash before making their getaway in a car.
The car was later abandoned a short distance and set alight and the raiders sped off on a motorcycle towards the Sandymount area.
One of the suspects fell off the bike and was later arrested by gardaí. The man in his 30s is now being held at Irishtown Garda Station. A firearm and an amount of money has been recovered and enquiries are ongoing.
