'Robbing a bank not like the movies', Northern Bank trial told

"Robbing a bank is not like the movies, you do not need dynamite", the judge hearing the £26.5m (€33m) Northern Bank robbery trial said today.

Mr Justice McLaughlin made the comment when the banker forced to deliver the cash to the robbery gang outside the doors of the bank Cash Centre in the heart of Belfast agreed with the defence lawyer that it had not been difficult to get the huge sum of money out under the noses of security guards.
