Gardaí have arrested a man in his late teens following two robbery incidents in Limerick City on the 15th August 2018.
At approximately 7.15am, a man entered a petrol station on Lough Quay armed with what is believed to be a knife, threatened staff and demanded money. The man left the shop empty handed.
Approximately 10 minutes later a man entered a shop on Cruises Street, again armed with what is believed to be a knife, threatened staff and demanded money. He left the scene with a small amount of cash and headed on foot towards Denmark Street.
Following preliminary investigations by Gardaí a man was arrested and brought to Henry Street Garda Station. He is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984.
