Post Office Robbery, Sixmilebridge, Co. Clare

Gardaí at Shannon Garda Station are investigating a robbery at a post office in Sixmilebridge, Co. Clare that occurred on Wednesday 6th November 2019.

At approximately 11.25am, a lone masked male armed with a black handgun entered the post office, produced a black plastic bag and demanded that it be filled with cash.
