Getaway route used by Glanmire robbers identified

It is believed the raiders — understood to have been in their 20s and with Irish accents — drove their stolen greyish-blue Ford Mondeo across a series of country roads before burning the vehicle out near the village of Glounthaune.

After speeding away from the Bank of Ireland at the Hazelwood Shopping Centre in Glanmire, the duo drove towards Brooklodge village. They then headed out under the Glanmire bypass near O’Connell Transport and onto the road to Knockraha.
