GARDAÍ HAVE ARRESTED five men after a jewellery store in Dublin was robbed by a masked gang armed with hammers.
Four men wearing balaclavas entered the shop in Balbriggan in north county Dublin at around 5pm this afternoon. The gang threatened staff and smashed up the store causing extensive damage before fleeing with a large quantity of jewellery.
The men escaped in a black saloon car.
Shortly afterwards, Gardaí stopped a taxi on the nearby M1 motorway and recovered a large amount of jewellery. All five occupants of the taxi – four men in their teens and one man in this 40s – were arrested at the scene.
The men are currently being held at Garda stations in Ballymun, Balbriggan and Coolock. The black saloon car was found abandoned in Balbriggan this evening.
Gardaí say the investigation into the robbery is ongoing.

According to Le Monde the last hostage has been released
Surprised it wasn’t in America :/
Scary, world we live in so much violence has become an everyday thing, and I am sure there are a million different reasons why, but doesn’t change the fact we have become an angry Generation…..
Hope everyone gets out safe and well. Hope they lock up the guy for life!!
I hope everyone gets out safe and the perp is caught alive. If this turns out to be another Islamist then it doesn’t bode well for race relations in France. Though my gut says its a Christian fundamentalist.
