    Two arrests following robbery of Donegal business

    Original report of the robbery and the arrest of two juveniles. The article says the robbery happened 'yesterday' and does not give a calendar date; its page date (19 Jan 2024) conflicts with the 'Updated / Sunday, 21 Jan 2024' line, so no incident date is recorded. No existing case matches this Rathmullan robbery; case 18307 concerns a different Rathmullan theft.
