Justice Minister Michael McDowell is due to hold talks with senior gardaí and the Private Security Authority later today to discuss a recent upsurge in cash-in-transit robberies in the capital.
Up to €800,000 is believed to have been stolen in the latest raid in the Clondalkin area of Dublin yesterday morning, while €600,000 was also stolen during another hold-up in Donaghmede on Tuesday.
