Gardaí in Finglas are investigating an incident which occurred on the 5th February at Erin’s Isle G.A.A. Club, where two of the club’s staff were threatened with hammers and relieved of the staff’s wages.

The staff members had just collected the wages from a bank in Finglas village. They arrived back at the club’s car park at 11.05am. A silver Ford Focus followed them into the car park. Three people were in this car. Two jumped out and stole the money off the staff members. The silver Ford Focus left the car park and drove right onto Farnham Drive and left into Farnham Crescent, where they abandoned the car and made their escape.
