Security guard fights off armed robbers

A BRAVE security guard prevented armed robbers from stealing a large sum of cash from a bank in Co Cork.

The Group 4 security guard was delivering cash to the Bank of Ireland in Hazelwood Shopping Centre, Glanmire, at about 10.15am yesterday when the two armed raiders pounced.

They drew up in a blue/grey Ford Mondeo, which had been stolen in the midlands last March.
