Three men have been charged in connection with a raid at a shop in Stillorgan, Dublin at the weekend in which staff were threatened with a hatchet.
At about 6.15pm on Saturday, two men wearing masks entered a Centra shop on the Lower Kilmacud Road and threatened staff before leaving on foot with a sum of cash.
A car was intercepted by uniformed gardaí responding to the incident as it attempted to leave a carpark outside the store.
The occupants of the car, two men aged in their 30s and one in his 40s, were arrested.
