A MAN IN his 30s is set to appear in court this morning after being charged over the robbery of a shop in Dublin city centre last night.

The incident happened on College Green at around 7.30pm last night, when a man entered the shop and threatened staff, demanding cash from the shop assistant.

The man left the scene on foot with a sum of cash and property from the shop.

Gardaí from nearby Pearse Street attended the scene and carried out a search of the area, before arresting a man in his late 30s a short time later.

The man was taken to Pearse Street Garda Station and charged, and is due to appear at the Criminal Courts of Justice this morning.
