Gardaí Investigate Cash-In-Transit Robbery
An investigation has been launched following the robbery of a cash-in-transit van on Monday morning at Blakestown in west Dublin.
The incident occurred shortly before 8am when two men approached the van armed with an iron bar and what is believed to be an imitation firearm and threatened a member of staff.
The armed robbery happened outside the Lidl supermarket in Blakestown Way and a significant sum – thought to be well over €10,000 – was taken.
The two men then made their escape with a cash box in a car, which was later recovered and has been taken for technical examination.
There were no injuries during the incident and gardai have not yet made any arrests.
This morning armed officers swarmed the area in a hunt for the suspects.
A notorious gang based in nearby Finglas have been responsible for a spate of cash-in-transit robberies in the capital this year.
