Woman arrested in connection with two armed robberies in Cork

No injuries were reported at the time and investigations are ongoing.

A WOMAN IN her forties has been arrested in connection with a series of armed robberies in Ballincollig in Cork City.

Gardaí have appealed for witnesses to come forward as they investigate two reported incidents of robbery in which a woman brandished a suspected imitation firearm, both of which occurred last night.

The woman was subsequently arrested and is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at a Garda Station in Co Cork.

“An imitation firearm and a number of bladed implements were recovered. The firearm is subject to ballistic analysis,” a Garda spokesperson said.

No injuries were reported at the time and investigations are ongoing.
