Money taken in cash-in-transit robbery at AIB branch in Kells

The incident happened at around 10.50am on John Street this morning.

GARDAÍ WERE CALLED to the scene of an attempted robbery today at an AIB branch in Kells, Co Meath.

At around 10.50am this morning, a cash-in-transit van was making a delivery to the branch on John Street in the town centre.

A number of suspects are believed to have approached the vehicle and threatened an employee.

A garda spokesperson told TheJournal.ie that a sum of money was taken, with the suspects taking one of the cash boxes being transported to the bank.

It is not believed that a firearm was used in the incident.

No one was injured at the scene, and gardaí are appealing for any witnesses, or anyone with information, to come forward.

    BBC are up to their neck in this – and they know it.
    God only knows, for years, what went on backstage after ‘Top of the Pops’ & what senior BBC staff knew about it.
    Highly embarrassing for them, broadcasting that fawning Christmas tribute to Savile, shortly after his death.
    It has been reported, that the Director General of the BBC knew all about him, – yet let the tribute programme go ahead.

    Ever hear the saying “the devil is hiding in plain sight”?

    Nobody would suspect this man of being a pederast. Look at him! He is the person you would least suspect. Damn him! The cerebral bastard!

    Now then now then now then. A lot of half-truths written about me. Just because I liked to spend a lot of time with the duchess after she passed on to the next world doesn’t mean I am a necromancer. No sirree Bob. And I don’t need to abuse nowt underage girls. I had plenty of women knocking down my door on TOTP Sonny boy. And a lot of them were 17!

    I never had a girlfriend. No sirree Bob. Women are brain damage. Anything that can cook is brain damage. I would rather feast on something else. *Googly eyes*
