THREE MEN CHARGED over the robbery of a post office in Donegal will appear in court in Letterkenny tomorrow.
The robbery took place in the Manorcunnigham branch of An Post yesterday morning with gardaí saying that a “considerable amount of damage” was caused to the post office during the raid.
The men had been armed with a knife, a hammer, and a sledgehammer or hatchet and threatened staff before fleeing the scene with a sum of money.
It is believed that a Royal Mail van hijacked in Derry was used in the robbery after the PSNI warned gardaí that the van was seen heading towards the Donegal border.
Following a joint operation between the two forces, three men were arrested a short time later in and around the border area near to the Creggan Reservoir.
They will appear at Letterkenny District Court tomorrow morning at 10.30am.
