GARDAÍ IN CLARE are investigating after two armed men wearing balaclavas stole an undisclosed sum of cash from a betting shop in Ennis last night.
The two men entered Ladbrokes bookmakers at around 7.40pm and demanded the cash from staff. One of the two raiders is believed to have been carrying a shotgun, gardaí have said. No-one was injured in the incident.
The two men escaped in a silver Audi which was discovered just before midnight a short distance from where the robbery had taken place.
Gardaí have appealed for anyone who witnessed the robbery or with information on the movement of the silver Audi to contact them.

About time someone robbed the bookies, they have been stealing the food from kids mouths for years……
You can only be classed as a moron for that comment. Armed robbery is not a laughing matter and crime in this country is at unacceptable levels.
And what about the kids of the 2 boys in the bookies if something had gone wrong?
“Was The ALDI on fire or special offer lol!”
With the price of fuel I knew the car wouldn’t have been too far
funny delighted for them hope it was a large amount
Another moron. Easy to explain problems with society with the likes of that comment.
This is only the beginning of a huge increase in crime. An increase in desperate people and cuts to security workers, gardai, etc. It’s really frightening.
It took the gardai long enough to find the abandoned Aldi.. They are most likely out of the country by now..
Undisclosed sum..
Abandoned Aldi.
LOL!
Abandoned Aldi??? You pleb
Hahahaha pleb!…. Haven’t heard that word in years! :)
have your say
