Masked gunmen on the loose after armed raid in Dublin

Carl Kinsella

Gardaí have called for witnesses.

Two men made off with €190,000 cash after robbing a security van outside Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, Dublin shortly after midday on Sunday.

It has been reported by the Irish Times one of the men was carrying a handgun, while the other was wielding a hammer. They were wearing blue boiler suits and balaclavas.

The men fled the scene with the money before the Gardaí could apprehend them, and they have not yet been caught.

The Gardaí have also confirmed that nobody was injured in the incident.

Anyone with any information on the robbery is being urged to call the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.
