Three men, one armed with a handgun, stole several thousand pounds from Power City in Coolock, Dublin.
Gardai said the men broke into the store shortly before 7 p.m. and held up a number of the staff. It is not clear how much money was stolen. All three men wore balaclavas and escaped in a BMW which the Garda believe was stolen.
The car was seen a number of times in the city later in the evening, including in the Ringsend area.
