One shot was fired during an armed raid in Co Louth last night.
The raid by two men happened at 11 p.m. in an amusement arcade in the village of Blackrock. One was carrying a handgun and the other had a knife.
They assaulted a member of staff and fired one shot; they then filled a bag full of cash, mostly two-euro coins.
Both men left on foot and were seen getting into a Renault 19 car that drove off towards the Dublin Road. The staff member who was assaulted was treated in hospital for minor injuries.
