Gardaí appeal for witnesses after an armed robbery in County Wexford yesterday

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses after a woman was injured during an armed robbery at a post office in Gorey, County Wexford shortly after midday yesterday.

Three men – believed to be armed with a firearm, sledge-hammer and pickaxe handle – threatened and assaulted staff and escaped with a small amount of cash.

A fourth man who is believed to have been waiting in a grey coloured LandRover Sport, drove them away from the scene.

A burnt out vehicle was later found in Carlow and is undergoing a technical examination.
