Gardaí are continuing a hunt this morning for the third member of a gang of armed robbers who escaped after detectives foiled a raid on a post office in Dublin yesterday morning.
Two other men were arrested during a Garda sting at a post office on Fassaugh Avenue, Cabra yesterday morning.
The third man managed to escape.
The operation involved a large number of gardaí from the Emergency Response Unit and the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation's organised crime unit.
Members of the Garda Dog Unit were also involved as was the Garda helicopter and gardaí from Cabra and nearby Garda stations.
The two men arrested were being detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act at Cabra and Blanchardstown Garda stations. They can be held for 72 hours without charge.
One of those arrested is one of two brothers from Finglas west whom gardaí believe have been behind a series of raids on cash-in-transit vans in Dublin in the last two years. They are believed to have stolen up to €2 million in these attacks.
The other man arrested is also well known to gardaí in Dublin. He is a 25-year-old from Finglas with a history of involvement in armed crime.
Gardaí searching for the man who escaped have drawn up a shortlist of members of the criminal fraternity in Finglas.
