Three people will appear in court this morning, over a number of robberies in the Blanchardstown area of Dublin.

A man, 25, and two women, aged 34 and 39, were arrested on the Grange Road on Monday, after the robberies of three shops in the area in the past two weeks.

In each attack knives were used to threaten staff members.

All three have been charged and will appear before Blanchardstown District Court this morning.
