The man is said to have fled into nearby gardens, and was seen discarding a rucksack before he was caught.

Gardaí recovered the rucksack nearby and two handguns & ammunition were found inside.

During a search of the suspect, gardaí say they also found a set of keys.

Following a search of the area, they discovered a stolen car parked on Casement Drive which is said to be "associated with the keys".

A 30-year-old man was arrested and taken to Finglas Garda Station, where he is currently being held under the provisions of section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.
