This evening, they said that the man will appear in court tomorrow morning charged in relation to the hijacking and robbery.
Two children and their mother were inside the car that was hijacked last Friday afternoon in Terenure in Dublin.
The man claimed to have a weapon, and forced the woman to drive to her home, retrieve bank cards, and withdraw cash.

No one was injured in the incident.
