GARDAÍ INVESTIGATING an armed raid on a cash-in-transit van in Walkinstown at the weekend have arrested a fourth person.

The man, aged in his 40s, was arrested in the Tallaght area this afternoon and is being held at Terenure Garda station.

The arrest follows a planned operation yesterday afternoon in which officers had arrested two other men, aged in their 40s and 20s, and a woman in her 20s.

The three people arrested yesterday all remain in custody at Crumlin and Sundrive Road Garda stations.

All four are being held under Section 30 of the Offences against the State Act, 1939.
