The two men escaped in a nearby jeep with an undisclosed sum of money. The jeep was found abandoned at a car park shortly afterwards.

As part of the investigation, Gardaí stopped a car in Finglas last night and arrested two men and two women, who are currently being questioned at Garda stations on the south side of the city.

No-one was injured in the robbery.
