Cash-in-transit van robbery ‘cold, callous’ Two thieves flee scene outside supermarket in Carpenterstown
hiromi mooney
GARDAI are continuing to investigate a cash-in-transit robbery which took place outside a supermarket in Carpenterstown last week.
On Monday, December 3, at 12.45pm, a cash-intransit van staff member was approached by two men, one who is believed to have been armed with a handgun.
They took a cash box and fled the scene in a silver Volkswagen Golf car. Cllr David McGuinness (FF) said: “Nobody deserves to have the threat of being robbed at gunpoint when
they go to work. This is a cold and callous crime.” Anyone with information is asked to contact gardai at Blanchardstown on 01 666 7000, or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.
