Security staff demand safer system after €500,000 raid

CASH-IN-TRANSIT workers yesterday criticised the lack of progress in installing “end-to-end” delivery systems.

Their anger followed a dramatic raid on a security van at Donaghmede Shopping Centre in north Dublin on Tuesday in which almost €500,000 was stolen.

The raiders, one armed with a submachine-gun, drove the arm of a JCB through the windscreen of the van, entered and took cash from a safe opened for the delivery. In a second raid the same day, money was taken from a security van in south Dublin.
