Gardaí are investigating an armed robbery at Fethard Post Office on Main Street in Co Tipperary after a man entered the premises and allegedly threatened staff while brandishing, what is believed to have been a firearm.
The incident happened on yesterday (Wednesday afternoon), prompting a local Garda response and an appeal for public assistance. The man fled the scene on foot with an undisclosed sum of cash. No injuries were reported, although it has not yet been confirmed how many people were inside the post office when the robbery took place.
The raid has caused concern in the local community, particularly given that it occurred during daytime business hours in the centre of Fethard. Gardaí are now working to establish the full circumstances of the incident, including the route taken by the suspect after leaving the post office.
According to local reports, the suspect was described as a lone male wearing a dark-coloured, long-sleeved hoodie with a grey front. Gardaí are appealing to anyone who was in the Main Street area, or elsewhere in Fethard, around the time of the robbery to come forward.
Investigators are particularly interested in hearing from anyone who may have noticed suspicious behaviour between 2:00pm and 3:00pm, or who may have dashcam, mobile phone, CCTV, or doorbell camera footage from the area.
