Gardai have launched an investigation into the robbery of a cash from a security company crew by a man on a bicycle.
The raider cycled up to the victim and demanded money
before cycling away with it.
It was unclear how much money was stolen but the cash was
taken from a cash in transit crew; which collect and deliver cash for banks,
other businesses and to service ATMs.
The robbery occurred on Tuesday afternoon when the
cyclist escaped with a cash box in north Dublin.
The security crew was making its rounds in Beaumont when
the raider cycled up to one crew member who was carrying a cash box.
