So yesterday I wrote a bit about the raid that happened at the bank branch across the street of my workplace. Pretty bizarre sight. This morning, everything was back to normal. As if it didn’t happen. Well.
RTE News now has more details on this. Apparently there were 3 men involved, which have been arrested. They attempted to rob a Securicor van delivering money to the ATM in front of the bank. No shots were fired says the article.
The van at which the robbery was attempted. The criminals failed to do so. Picture: RTE News.
The article says no money was stolen, and no one was injured. The Gardai was able to intervene in time. Apparently these criminals belong to a larger group, based somewhere in Crumlin in Dublin.

Like yourself my office is near by and i was literally at the branch when it happen. Scary stuff! What the news didn’t mention was that a stun gun was used to aprehend one of the criminals and there was a “bang grenade” used to confuse them when the arrest went down. That’s where all the rumors of shots came from.
Nice Blog mate.
