At approximately 12.15pm a male armed with what appeared to be a firearm approached and threatened an employee transporting a cash box.

The man fled the scene with the cash box and got into a Ford Focus car which subsequently drove at speed in the direction of Clonard Road.

Nobody was injured and gardaí later recovered a vehicle which was then technically examined.
