Armed robbers raid on a branch of the Northern Bank in Dublin.
A Garda Síochána search is on for three men following the theft of £3,000 in an armed robbery at the Northern Bank at South Circular Road in Dublin.
The bank robbery took place in broad daylight. Three raiders entered the bank wearing dark glasses, brandishing automatic pistols. Two of the men held customers and staff at gunpoint while the third grabbed the cash from the tellers' counter. A female customer was robbed of £130.
The raiders made their getaway in a brown Ford Cortina, a stolen car later abandoned in James's Walk, Dublin.
Witnesses described one of the men as being about 35 years old. The other two men were in their twenties.
