Gardai are investigating the armed robbery of a post office that took place in Dublin this morning.

Two men raided the Jobstown post office on the Kiltalown Road at around 9am this morning.

The men were armed with a sledgehammer and a machete and took the contents of the till before making off in a grey Mitsubishi Spacestar.

Gardai are appealing for anyone with information or who witnessed the raid to contact them at Tallaght Garda Station.
