THREE MEN HELD for questioning over an armed raid at a post office in Co Roscommon have been released without charge.
Two masked men — one of whom is believed to have been armed with a gun — entered the post office in Strokestown on Tuesday morning, threatened staff and customers and made off with a sum of cash.
They escaped in a silver Volvo, which later crashed on the road between Ballymahon and Lanesborough.
Two men were arrested at the scene, while a third was detained later that evening. All are aged in their 20s.
Gardai say this morning that all three men detained in connection with the investigation have been released, with a file on the case to be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
