A Garda search is underway for a gang who seized around £1.5m from Securicor. Some sources say the security van did not have an armed Garda escort due to a shortage of manpower.

The report shows abandoned Securicor van, Gardaí searching the playing fields around Coláiste Mhuire, Glasnevin, where the van was found.

The reporter is Tom McCaughren.
