Three men are due in court today after an armed robbery of a shop in Stillorgan.
Two men burst into a grocery store in Stillorgan at around a 6:15pm on Saturday evening - they were armed with a hatchet and knife and threatened staff.
They left the scene on foot with a sum of cash - gardai who were responding to the raid stopped a car as it tried to leave a car park outside the shop.
An amount of money along with a hammer and an axe were recovered from the car - no one was injured during the raid.
Three men - two in their 30s and a man in his 40s who were arrested are expected to appear before Dublin District Court later this morning.
