Gardaí are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.

At around 3.30pm yesterday afternoon, two men – one believed to be armed with a handgun – approached and threatened security staff as they were delivering money to a Post Office on La Touche Road in Bluebell.

The two men fled the scene – with an undisclosed sum of cash – in a gray coloured Volkswagen Golf – partial registration 07 D.

The car was being driven by a third man and left the scene in the direction of Kylemore Road before being later recovered by Gardaí. 

No injuries were reported.
