A man is being detained at Claremorris Garda Station in connection with the attempted raid of a post office in Hollymount yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon. He was arrested near Ballinrobe yesterday.
A masked man is reported to have entered the post office at around 2.30pm armed with a weapon. No money was taken.
A spokesperson at the Claremorris station said An Gardaí SíochΡna are looking into extending the period of the man’s detainment. Gardaí have said they have no lead in relation to another man who was involved in the raid.
