Four people have been arrested in Dublin in connection with the robbery of a cash-in-transit van in Tempelogue yesterday.

The robbery took place at about 4.15pm yesterday afternoon when two men threatened a security guard during a cash collection at the Orwell Shopping Centre. One man was armed with what looked like a gun.

They escaped with a sum of money in a jeep which was found abandoned at the Spawell Car Park a short time later.

Two men and two women were arrested in a follow-up operation in Finglas last night. 

The suspects, who aged in their 20s and 30s, are being held at Terenure and Rathmines Garda Stations.
