GARDAÍ ARE INVESTIGATING an armed robbery on a cash-in-transit van in Dublin this morning.
The incident happened at 6.40am when a man, armed with a knife, attacked a security worker at a business on the Crumlin Road.
Armed and uniformed gardaí responded to the incident but the attacker had fled. A spokesperson confirmed that detectives are now investigating and appealed for information.
“The incident occurred at approximately 6.40am when a lone male approached a worker who was carrying a cash box. The male produced a knife and demanded the cash box be handed over. The male quickly fled the scene with the box, which was empty at the time.
