Gardaí are searching for four teenagers who stole a large amount of money from a security van in Dublin today.
The four - aged in their mid to late teens - robbed the van at 12.40 p.m. as it made a delivery to a bank machine serving shops on Carpenterstown Road, Blanchardstown.
The gang used a car to pull steel gates off an entrance between two shops where staff from the security van were unloading money for the ATM.
The raiders were armed and masked but no shots were fired during the robbery and there were no injuries, a Garda spokesman said.
The teenagers left the scene in two cars, a blue Volkswagen Passat and a blue Toyota Corolla. It is believed both cars were stolen earlier. The spokesman said "a substantial amount of cash" was taken.
No arrests have been made.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Blanchardstown Garda station on 01 6667000.
