Gardaí have arrested a man in relation to an alleged robbery by a group of people armed with hammers. 

The incident occurred on Saturday April 8 shortly after 9pm at a premises on Bird Avenue, Clonskeagh in the Dundrum District, whereby the group entered a shop armed and threatened staff before leaving on foot with a sum of cash. 

Following an extensive investigation by Gardaí, a man in his 30s was arrested yesterday (Thursday May 4) and detained at a Dublin Garda Station under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984. 

This man has since been charged and is expected to appear before Dun Laoghaire District Court at 10.30am today (Friday May 5, 2023).
