Two armed men have escaped with an undisclosed sum of money following a bank robbery in Co Westmeath.
The men are believed to have entered the AIB in Moate armed with a knife and a gun at around 2.30 this afternoon.
Gardaí said they made off with a sum of money in a dark green BMW with a 91D registration.
The car was later found abandoned at Tubber. Gardaí said the car had been stolen in Athlone yesterday.
