GARDAÍ IN DUBLIN are investigating an armed robbery at a bank on Blackrock’s main street this afternoon.
At about 3.50pm, a lone male entered the building and threatened staff and customers. He was armed with what has been described as a handgun.
The raider then took an undisclosed amount of cash and fled the scene. No shots were fired and nobody was injured during the incident.
In a follow-up search, investigating Gardaí stopped a taxi on Merrion Road. The passenger – a 51-year-old man – was arrested in connection with the investigation.
