A 29-year-old man arrested and charged in connection with the recent armed robbery of around €20,000 cash from the shop at University Hospital Galway has been remanded in custody.
Sebastian Onyszk, a Polish national living in Knocknacara, was brought before a special sitting of Galway District Court yesterday where he was charged with the robbery at the shop at UHG on Thursday evening last.
It is alleged that a man entered the shop at around 9pm and claimed to have lost his mobile phone. When a staff member went to look for the phone the man threatened her with a knife and demanded that she open the safe. The accused was arrested in the Salthill area yesterday.
Onyszk was remanded in custody to appear again at Harristown District Court tomorrow
