The raider made off in a waiting car driven by an accomplice.
Gardaí have launched an investigation into an armed robbery in Blarney over the weekend where a shopkeeper was threatened at knifepoint by a raider who made off with a small sum of money.
The robbery happened at around 1pm yesterday when the lone raider wearing a hoodie and scarf burst into the corner shop on Shamrock Terrace in the village and threatened the shopkeeper before grabbing the cash till.
The raider made off in a waiting car driven by an accomplice.
The car, a blue Ford Focus which was stolen from the lower Glanmire Road shortly before the incident, sped from the scene and was found an hour later abandoned and burnt out on Rathmore Road on the northside of the city.
