Men attempt to rob a Dublin post office but can't get safe open
Three men were arrested a short time later.
THREE MEN HAVE been arrested as part of Operation Thor following an attempted robbery at a post office in Dublin 8.
At around 12.30pm three masked men armed with knives, a crowbar and other implements entered the public area of a post office at Leonard’s Corner.
They threatened customers and staff but failed in attempts to open a safe. The three men fled the scene on foot empty-handed a short time later.
During a follow up operation involving gardaí from Kevin Street along with the Divisional Crime Task Force and detective units, a flat was searched a short distance from the scene of the incident. Three men in their 20s were arrested.
They are currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at Kevin Street and Pearse Street Garda Stations.
Investigations are ongoing.
