By Maurice Garvey
GARDAI are appealing for witnesses following a cash robbery outside a post office in Crumlin Village on Thursday morning.
At approximately 11.40am, a cash-in-transit employee entered the premises with a cash box. An unidentified man came towards this employee and produced a firearm. The cash box was then handed over.
The unidentified man was dressed in a full An Post uniform and escaped on a bicycle down Windmill Road, in the direction of Kildare Road in Crumlin.
Gardai are asking anyone who may have noticed any unusual activity in the vicinity of Crumlin Village Post Office between 10am – 12.30pm to come forward.
Gardai are also appealing to any road users including motorists, cyclists and pedestrians who were in the area at this time and who may have camera footage (including dash cam) to make this available.
Anyone with information in relation to this matter can contact Crumlin Garda Station on 666 6200, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any garda station.
