A WOMAN WORKING in a shop on the campus of University College Dublin (UCD) was threatened with a gun during a late-night armed raid.

Two men entered the store as the woman was closing the store. One was armed with a handgun, the other with a metal bar.

No one was physically harmed in the incident.

A Garda spokesperson said that the matter remains under investigation by gardaí at Donnybrook Garda Station.
