Three people are in custody following a robbery at a filling station in Cork City last night.
Two masked men armed with knives held up staff at a service station on Leitrim Street and stole a quantity of cash, just before 8.30pm.
The men left the scene in a car, which was driven by another man and had a female passenger.
A garda car patrolling in the area stopped the car and arrested a woman and two men, ranging in ages from late 20s to mid 40s.
Another man escaped on foot.
Gardaí recovered knives, balaclavas and cash in the car.
