Three people arrested following shop robbery where man used broken bottle as weapon in Stamullen, Meath

Three people have been arrested following the robbery of a shop in Stamullen in Meath on Saturday evening.

The incident took place shortly before 10pm on May 25 when a man entered a shop and threatened staff with a broken bottle.

He fled the scene in a car with a number of accomplices shortly after the incident.

Gardai in Laytown and Duleek searched the area following the incident and spotted a car in Julianstown matching the description of the getaway.

They forced the vehicle to stop and arrested two males and one female.

The 20-year-old and 22-year-old male and the 24-year old female are currently being interviewed in relation to the robbery.

Gardaí added that they are "also examining if this incident is linked to a number of similar type of robberies that occurred in the Drogheda area on Saturday afternoon".

On Friday, Gardai attended the scene of a cash-in-transit raid in North Dublin.

The robbery took place at the Charlestown Shopping Centre in Finglas at around 1pm.

A cash box is understood to have been stolen from the driver as they returned to their vehicle at the centre.

Thankfully there were no injuries reported as a result of the incident.

A number of people are believed to have witnessed the raid, with an investigation currently taking place.

A garda spokeswoman told Dublin Live: "Gardaí are at the scene of a cash-in-transit robbery that occurred at St Margaret's Road, Finglas at approximately 1pm today 24th May 2019.

"It's understood that a cash box was taken during the raid. No injuries have been reported. No further information at this time."
