Three men in their late teens and early 20's are due to appear in court this morning following a robbery at a house in Dunlavin in Co Wicklow yesterday afternoon.
Another man has since been released without charge.
The three were arrested after the owner of the house returned at around 2am following an alarm activation and disturbed a number of intruders who fled the scene.
During a follow up operation Gardaí, assisted by the Air Support Unit, arrested four men a short distance away.
A shotgun and a small amount of cash taken during the incident was recovered.
