Gardaí are investigating an armed robbery of a supermarket in Co Meath.

Two males, one of whom was armed with a handgun, the other with a baseball bat, entered the store at around 7.20pm on Friday.

After threatening staff the pair made of with the contents of two cash registers, and escaped in a black Volkswagen Polo.

Gardaí say the men appeared to be heading in the direction of Navan.

A firearm was later discovered at the scene.

Witnesses said one of the men was wearing a black hood over his head while the second wore a dark woollen hat and a black facemask.

Anyone with information is asked to contact gardaí in Navan garda station.

A bit disappointed you didn't use a Dublin Live type newsfeed....we'd be treated to such headlines as Nobber Robbers or some such!!

Indeed, I quite like Mirror Group (Irish Mirror, Dublin Live, Cork Beo, + ?) headlines. I think the best was "Sinn Fein Blast Explosives" in an article about fireworks in West Dublin.

 Two heads threatening me one with a Gun one with a Bat the one with the Bat is the one I would be weary of .Its easy enough to swing a bat and break a head or a shoulder without giving it a second thought .Lad with a gun has to consider if he pulls the trigger he kills you .I would think if you are working behind a counter in a shop you would be frightened of the Bat more than a gun you dont hear of to many shop workers being shot .

Fella with a blade would frighten me the most .Dont think a lot of people understand the internal damage a knifes blade can do .If anybody ever pulled a knifes on me id give him the lining of me pockets along with the coin .
