Gardaí have released three of the four people  arrested in connection with a security van robbery in Dublin last week.

The robbery took place on May 8th when two men, one of whom was believed to be armed, held up security staff as they were about to fill ATMs at the Nutgrove Shopping Centre in Rathfarnham.

The men escaped from the scene in car that was later found abandoned in nearby Churchtown.

Gardaí arrested four people - three men in their 20s and 30s and a 61-year-old woman - on Saturday during searches of three houses in the Dublin 8 area.  Two handguns and a stolen van were recovered. 

They were questioned at Tallaght and Rathfarnham Garda stations.

Two of the men and the women were freed without charge overnight. A Garda spokeswoman said  files will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions. The third man remains in custody.
