Gardai are hunting for a suspect who robbed a city bookmaker this lunchtime.
A young man entered Mulholland's Bookies in Wellpark around 12 noon and threatened a member of staff.


He made off with a small sum of cash and fled the scene on foot.


The suspect is described as aged between 20 and 25 years, wearing a black tracksuit top with red stripe on side, over a blue hoodie and black tracksuit bottoms.

A sign of the times i suppose

Does not surprise me. So many houses being broken into now too. Scary times.

Doesn't sound very organised.

Will hopefully be caught.

Giving hoodies and tracksuits a bad name.

I wouldn't say its a sign of the times, just a sign of the scumbags.

The bookies in Mervue was done there a few years ago when we were all wiping our arses with fifty euro notes

Bummer

Hope they find the culprits...Wonder what the odds are???

Everytime I think of a bookies being robbed, I think of Snatch.. Great movie.

He definatly isnt a gambler. He picked the week when nearly every sporting event in Ireland and the UK was cancelled to rob a bookies.
