Attempted raid on Tara Post Office

 

Gardai believe that there may have been three men involved in an attempted raid on Tara Post Office on Tuesday afternoon.

Around 3pm, a lone raider entered the post office at Ross Cross, brandishing a firearm, and broke the protective glass, but failed to get through it. He also attempted to get through a doorway to the post office worker, but failed and left emptyhanded.

A red car was waiting for him outside, which was later found abandoned at Baronstown, Tara.

Gardai are appealing for anyone who noticed anything suspicious in the area to contact the Dunshaughlin station on (01) 8259059.
