Gardaí at Mountjoy Garda Station are investigating a cash in transit robbery that occurred outside a bank on Mobhi Road in Glasnevin on Wednesday 13th September 2017 at approximately 3.40pm.

The security van driver was working on the northside of Dublin and was making a deposit at a bank on Mobhi Road. A silver Sean Leon car, registration number 02DL9127 was captured on CCTV stopped at the traffic lights at the opposite junction. When the lights changed the car drove across the junction and pulled up beside the security van, a man armed with a crowbar got out of the rear passenger seat and ran towards the driver demanding the cash box. The security driver dropped the box and the man grabbed it and ran back to the waiting car and got back into the rear passenger seat.
