Shoppers flee as shots fired in robbery on cash delivery van

SHOPPERS and employees ran for safety yesterday as masked armed raiders opened fire as they robbed a cash delivery van in Dublin.

The thieves struck at noon at Lucan’s Hillcrest Shopping Centre, just as shopowners were preparing for a busy weekend before the bank holiday.

They targeted the van as it was filling up ATMs with cash for the busy shopping period before St Patrick’s Day.
