Garda hunt for Longford casino armed raider still ongoing
The hunt continues for a man who fled Longford after brandishing a weapon and taking a sum of cash from a casino on Ballymahon Street in the town on November 13 last year.
The suspect is said to have won money in a casino game, and upon approaching the office to collect his winnings, is believed to have produced a weapon, reportedly a gun, before kicking open the door, and entering the office to take the cash.
Emergency services were called to the scene as a staff member sustained minor injuries during the incident.
