Seven still held over BoI raid

Gardaí are continuing to hold seven people in custody this morning in connection with Friday's robbery on Bank of Ireland in College Green, Dublin.

The six men and one woman are all aged in their twenties and thirties and are being held at Garda stations across Dublin.

Yesterday Gardaí recovered more than half of the estimated €7m that was taken in the largest ever robbery in history of the State.

In the ordeal, an armed gang forced a bank employee to withdraw the money from his workplace while they held his partner, her mother and a young boy hostage.
