Gardaí are searching for armed raiders who entered a post office in south Kilkenny with a sawn-off shotgun and a sledgehammer before escaping with cash yesterday morning.
The two men raided the post office at Glenmore shortly before 10.30am.
No shots were fired and nobody was injured. Gardaí believe the men escaped in a red or maroon-coloured saloon car and may have gone towards New Ross or Waterford. They appeal for anyone with information to contact them in Thomastown on 056-7754150 and in Waterford on 051-305300.
