€140k taken in Cork security van raid
The robbery happened at a Maxol station on Carr’s Hill approximately a mile from Carrigaline where the security firm was making a cash delivery to the garage’s ATM machine at approximately 4.30pm.
The three robbers, a driver and two other men, pulled up in a black Saab fitted with false number plates. The two men followed the cash-in-transit staff into the building that housed the ATM and threatened them. The three then made off with more than €100,000 and possibly as much as €140,000 in the direction of the city. The car was later found burnt out near Ballinora GAA club, which is near Waterfall.
