GARDAÍ ARE APPEALING for witnesses following a security van robbery in Clonee, Co Meath yesterday.

The incident happened at a supermarket at around 12.40pm as the security personnel were collecting cash.

As the security man left the supermarket he was approached by two masked men one of whom was armed with a hammer. The security man placed the cash box on the ground and the masked men grabbed it and ran off.
