Wild scenes in Meath…
Footage has emerged of an attempted armed robbery in Meath on Wednesday.
Two men attempted to storm a Spar shop in Ratoath, Meath armed with hatchets, and rob the cash register.
One of the men jumped over the counter and confronted the member of the staff behind the counter, who refused to open the till for the man. He told them he didn’t know how to open it.
This led to one of the masked men attempting to break open the till with his hatchet.
But the two men didn’t expect the owner of the shop to come running up the aisle wielding a chair and chasing them out of the shop.
Incredible bravery from the owner of the shop and indeed, the staff member behind the counter.
