Gardai are anxious to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time of the robbery and who may be in a position to assist in this investigation.
Gardai at Kells are appealing for information in relation to a robbery which occurred at the Bank Of Ireland, Oldcastle, Co. Meath at approximately 5pm yesterday (August 5th 2009).
Three raiders wearing navy blue boiler suits and carrying iron bars entered the premises via the rear and escaped with an undisclosed sum of money. They left by the back of the bank going through the rear car park of the Napper Arms Hotel and into the Ard Friel housing estate where a car was waiting. This car is described as being a dark coloured saloon and is believed to have travelled in the direction of Castlepollard.
Gardai are anxious to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time of the robbery and who may be in a position to assist in this investigation. Gardai believe that the raiders may have been in the area in the days prior to the robbery.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Kells Garda Station on 046 9280820, the Garda Confidential Telephone Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
