Garda Appeal For Information Following Bank Robbery In Co Roscommon
Gardaí have issued an appeal for witnesses following a bank robbery in Strokestown, Co Roscommon.
Four men wearing balaclavas and gloves entered a bank on Church Street at about 2.15pm on Saturday, 21 April.
One of the men was believed to have been armed with a handgun.
The men threatened bank staff and demanded cash. They fled the scene with an undisclosed sum of money in a black Audi A4 with UK registered number plates, which was driven by a fifth man.
