A man was arrested after Gardai foiled a regrettable robbery in Cork City last night.
Officers were called to a pharmacy on Oliver Plunkett St early this morning after a man smashed the front window with a sledgehammer before entering.
The theft was caught on CTTV, the alarm was activated and members of the public called the guards who came down within minutes.
Officers waited at the window hole while the man was inside, and an arrest was soon made and the stock recovered.
