ONE PERSON HAS been arrested after an armed robbery on a bank at Montrose, south Dublin this morning.
Two men held up a branch of Bank of Ireland at around 11.30am with a firearm, threatening staff at the bank on the Stillorgan Road.
They left with a small amount of cash before making their getaway in a car.
The car was later abandoned a short distance and set alight and the raiders sped off on a motorcycle towards the Sandymount area.
