what are these Police you speak of?

I used to work in St James St in 1976. I kept friends with a few lads and lasses who remained working there long after I left. Somewhere in the back of murky old memories I think I’m right in recalling that there was either some armed robbery or similar at Quincies around late 70’s. But I could...
