Man arrested over Post Office robbery

Gardaí have arrested a man in his 20s in connection with the armed robbery.

GARDAÍ IN CRUMLIN have arrested a man in connection with the attempted armed robbery of a Post Office last Friday.

The man, who is in his 20s, was arrested earlier today and is being detained at Terenure Garda Station.

The incident occurred at the Bunting Road Post Office in Dublin 12 on Friday, 13 July. At about 9.15am, two men – armed with a shot gun and hammer – entered the premises, threatened staff and fired one shot.

They left the scene without stealing any money or items.

A female employee was injured when shrapnel from a shattered pane of glass entered her eye.

Gardaí have asked any witnesses, or anyone with information, to contact them at Crumlin Garda Station.

    Good work Gardai! I can’t help wondering if all the recent post and cash transport robberies are connected. They occurred in a cluster and the arrests are happening in a cluster as well. One wonders if there wasn’t an unerased white board at the first arrest location with “get shotgun to Denis after the transport job” “Buy new hammer” and “have Claudia steal another car” scribbled on it.
