Gardaí are investigating an armed robbery that took place in broad daylight near the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin on Monday evening. In a statement to JOE, Gardaí said that two males armed with what is believed to be a gun allegedly stole a phone from a pedestrian at Long's Place, Dublin 8, at approximately 6pm on Monday evening (21 October). It is believed that the pedestrian who was confronted is a tourist who was visiting the Guinness Storehouse yesterday.
