A man is due in court in connection with a robbery at a shop in Dublin’s College Green last night.

Gardaí said a man threatened staff in the shop and demanded cash at around 7:30pm.

He ran off with a sum of money and some items from the shop.

After Gardaí were called, they carried out a search of the area. A man in his 30s was arrested a short time later.

He was taken to Pearse Street Garda Station where he has since been charged.

He is due before the Criminal Courts of Justice this morning.
