Luas services were suspended for some time this afternoon following a security alert on the Red Line near George’s Dock in Dublin.
Shortly before 2.45pm two men, one armed with a knife, entered an O’Brien’s Sandwich Bar outlet in the area and stole a quantity of cash.
When making their getaway one of the men dropped a suspicious looking device near the Luas tracks sparking the alert.
Gardaí sealed off the area and an Army bomb disposal team examined the package.
