Two men have been charged by gardaí over a recent armed robbery of a business in Drogheda, Co Louth, and are due to appear before a hearing of the District Court this morning.

It is believed one man entered a business armed with what appeared to be a knife and left with a sum of cash after threatening staff.

The robbery took place on Tuesday evening in the Co Louth town. No one was injured during the incident.

Two men, both aged in their 30s, were later arrested by gardaí the following day.
