Gardaí have appealed for witnesses following a cash-in-transit robbery in Kinnegad, Co Westmeath on Thursday morning.
Three men travelling in a gold coloured Renault Scenic car stole a cash box from a security man outside a financial institution in Kinnegad at 10.20am on Thursday.
The vehicle was later found burnt out a short distance away on the Ballinabrackey Road area of Kinnegad. It is believed another car was waiting to take the men away from the scene.

They have also made an appeal for anyone with dash-cam footage who was in the Kinnegad area at the time of the raid to come forward.
