Naas Gardaí appeal for information on armed robbery

Gardaí in Kildare are appealing for witnesses to an armed robbery in Naas this morning.

The van's staff were threatened and the man made off in a silver-grey vehicle with an undisclosed sum of money.

He is described as being thin and fair skinned and was wearing a scarf across his face.

He drove down Pacelli Road and abandoned the car in the Caragh Court area.

He then got in to a small red car and may have proceeded on through Caragh or gained access to the motorway
