Gardaí are hunting a number of men following an attempted robbery in Navan this morning.

At about 11.30am, two men on a 'scrambler' motorbike approached a cash in transit van outside a business in the Co Meath town.

Two men left the scene in an Audi A3 car in the direction of Navan Rugby Club, while another man fled towards a local housing estate.

Gardaí have issued descriptions of the men who were on the motorbike. One was of slim build and about 6 foot tall, while the other was about 5 foot 9.

Both were wearing green rainjackets and leggings and balaclavas.
