Gardaí Appeal For Information After Armed Post Office Robbery

Gardaí have launched an investigation following an armed robbery at Dún Laoghaire post office in Dublin this morning.

Two men entered the post office, armed with what is believed to have been handguns, around 10.25am.

They threatened staff before making off with an undisclosed amount of money.

One of the men made his getaway on foot, while the other escaped in a dark coloured car.
