Three Derry men have been remanded in custody after they appeared in court in Letterkenny this morning charged in connection with a post office raid which took place over the weekend.
A sum of money was stolen from the post office in Manorcunningham on Saturday morning, when three men, armed with knifes and sledge hammers, threatened staff.
They fled the scene in a van – which was later stopped by Gardaí close to Killea.
Gardai have confirmed they had been alerted by PSNI that a Royal Mail postal van had been hijacked by three men in Derry at approximately 9.50am that morning, and driven in the direction of the Donegal border.
