Gardaí are searching for three raiders who held up a cash delivery van in Cork this afternoon.

The raiders are believed to have made away with more than €100,000.

The raid began this afternoon around 4.30pm at the MAXOL filling station outside Carrigaline in Cork.

Two raiders armed with sawn-off shotguns held up staff making a delivery to the ATM at the station.

It is believed they made away with a substantial amount of cash, possibly more than €100,000.
