Armed robbery in the early hours of Clare convenience store

GARDAI are seeking witnesses after an armed robbery in the early hours of Sunday morning from a convenience store.

At 3.39 a.m. on Sunday, March 7 a lone male entered Centra on the Gort Road Ennis carrying a large knife. He went behind the counter and ordered the attendant to place the contents of the till into a white bag which he did – he then left on foot running out the Gort Road.

The man was wearing a black jacket, navy pants, black beanie hat, black runners and black face mask.

The members of staff weren’t injured but this was a very traumatic incident for them.

Gardai have asked anyone who was in the area of Centra on the Gort Road in the early hours of Sunday morning between 3.15 a.m. and 4 a.m. and saw a male matching this description or anyone who has dash cam footage to contact Ennis Garda Station on 065 6848100.
