Staff locked up during Dunnes raid

Dublin- A garda investigation is under way following an armed robbery at Dunnes Stores in Rathmines in Dublin. The robbery happened at about 8.30pm last night.
Two men wearing balaclavas entered the store armed with what appeared to be a shotgun and a handgun. The store in the Swan Shopping Centre was closed at the time but five staff members were still on the premises. Three of them were taken to a cash room where threats were made, and a substantial amount of money was then taken.
The three staff were locked in the cash room afterwards. No shots were fired and no-one was injured. The raiders fled in a silver-coloured Ford Galaxy car that was parked nearby on Castlewood Avenue.
