AN INVESTIGATION HAS been launched after two armed and masked men robbed a Lidl grocery store near Blanchardstown, Dublin.
The raid took place at the shop in Blakestown, Dublin 15, shortly after 4:30 yesterday afternoon.

One of the men was very tall with an imposing physical presence. The witness described him as “massive”.
