Scary scenes as thief wielding knife robs North Dublin off-licence
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Gardaí have launched an investigation after a shocking knife-point robbery at an off-licence in North Dublin. The distressing incident occurred in Kilbarrack last Thursday, when the shop was robbed for an amount of cash by a knife-wielding assailant and it was captured on camera. In the shocking CCTV footage, a shopkeeper can be seen talking to a customer wearing a grey tracksuit and black snood covering the bottom part of his face, reports the Irish Mirror. The pair talk for around 20 seconds before the shop attendant hands the man a pack of cigarettes, before the man in front of the counter pulls a blade from his pants and reaches over the counter, pointing it at the young attendant who puts his hands up. The brave young man then opens the till as the thief stands there, knife in hand, before handing the brazen robber a large stack of cash. The thief then leaves the store as the shocked store worker puts his hands on his chest in relief. Gardaí confirmed investigations are ongoing following the distressing incident. A Garda spokesperson said.: "Gardaí received report of an incident of robbery that occurred at approximately 9:20pm on 5 June in the Kilbarrack area of Dublin 5. No injuries were reported. Investigations are ongoing." Join our Dublin Live breaking news service on WhatsApp. Click this link to receive your daily dose of Dublin Live content.
