Gardaí have arrested a male in his 20s following an armed robbery at a retail premises in Dublin 9, this morning, Thursday, 29th May 2025.

At approximately 7:30am, Gardaí were alerted after a lone male armed with a shot gun entered a fast-food premises in Northwood, Dublin 9 and threatened staff. He stole a sum of cash before fleeing the scene in a car.
