A robbery took place at Killiney Shopping Centre in south county Dublin at approximately 10.36am yesterday, according to gardaí.
An undisclosed amount of cash was taken after a man armed with what was described as a handgun threatened a security van driver and demanded money, while a second man waited in a car nearby.
The car involved in the cash-in-transit robbery was a silver Nissan Micra. The men made their getaway in the direction of the M50.
No shots were discharged and no injuries sustained.
