Armed gang takes €20,000 in raid

ARMED raiders escaped with around €20,000 during a daring raid on a busy hotel in west Dublin early yesterday morning.

The gang made off with most of the night’s bar takings from the popular CityWest Hotel in Saggart, Co Dublin, after closing time.

Two masked raiders armed with handguns forced a female bar manager to open a night safe in a backroom of the hotel shortly after 1.30am.
