Gardaí at Kevin Street are appealing for witnesses following an armed cash in transit (CIT) robbery in Dublin 8, on Thursday the 27th of October, 2022.
At approximately 4:15pm, a man armed with a suspected firearm approached and threatened a cash-in-transit security staff member at gun point outside convenience store and post office on New Street South. He fled from the scene with a cash box in a car that was waiting nearby.
No shots were fired and none of the security personnel were physically harmed in the course of the incident.
