Gardaí in Co Tipperary are investigating a raid in which a gang stole a substantial sum of money from a golf club on Friday.
The group of four masked men, who were armed with pickaxe handles and a screwdriver, confronted a member of staff and his family at Nenagh Golf Club at about 11.40pm.
They threatened the man, his partner and a 12-year-old child before forcing him to open a safe. Gardaí said one of the raiders spoke with a Dublin accent.
After emptying the safe, the gang fled in a large dark car towards Nenagh.
