The robbery happened shortly before noon, as three raiders entered the premises and demanded cash from workers — threatening them with a knife and what’s believed to have been a gun.

The men — aged 18, 28 and 36 — were arrested yesterday.

All three are due before a special sitting of Waterford District Court at 9pm tonight.
