An investigation is being carried out after a businessman was robbed at gunpoint by a man dressed in women's clothing in south Dublin early this morning.
The incident occurred at Terenure Road East at around 4.45am.
The 44-year-old business man was attempting to lodge cash at a bank deposit box in Rathgar.
He was approached and threatened by another man who was dressed in women's clothing and armed with what is believed to be a handgun.
The businessman was then confronted by a second man, before both robbers drove away in the direction of Terenure.
A large sum of cash was taken during the incident.
The car, which had a false registration 12 CE 1549 - was later recovered in the Harolds Cross area.
The silver Hyundai i40 had a taxi sign on the roof but had no taxi markings on its doors.
Gardaí have appealed for witnesses and or anyone who may have passed the ATM at the AIB branch on Terenure Road East between 4.30am and 4.45am.
Anyone who may have seen any unusual behaviour or saw the silver Hyundai with the taxi sign is also asked to contact Terenure Garda Station on 01 6666400, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.
