A man walked into the hotel on Dock Road at around 3am, demanding cash.

A 30-YEAR-OLD MAN has been arrested in connection with a robbery at a hotel in Limerick in the early hours of this morning, in which a syringe was used to threaten staff.

He demanded cash, and fled the scene with the reception’s cash box.

Gardaí later arrested a man at the Windmill Apartments in the city. He’s being held today at Henry Street Garda Station.
