Longford town's Main Street
A manhunt is underway after an armed robbery in Longford town yesterday, the Leader can reveal.
A masked robber entered a business premises in the county town at around 10am and produced a knife, demanding cash.
The Leader understands the raider took a range of items from inside the store and escaped on foot a short time later.
Uniformed officers and detectives arrived on the scene soon afterwards and immediately began a probe into what occurred.
It's believed the male suspect, who was acting alone, had been spotted lurking around outside the business premises in question for a period of time before yesterday's incident.
In a statement, gardaí had launched an investigation into the events of yesterday morning.
