Security worker injured in cash-in-transit robbery in Navan

Navan Gardai are hunting for two males following a cash-in-transit robbery at the Topaz Filling Station, Proudstown Road, Navan, earlier today.

A cash delivery worker was collecting cash from the Navan garage when he was approached by two males at around 11.50am. The two suspects jumped out of a Rexton SUV and one of them was armed with an iron bar. They took a cash box, which Gardai say contained a small sum of cash, before fleeing the scene. The security worker is understood to have received some bruising to the leg after being struck by the bar.

The culprits fled the scene in the Rexton vehicle which was found burnt out a short time later in nearby St Mary's Park. They are understood to have made their escape from there in a white or cream coloured car, possibly an Audi or Mercedes.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or with any information on the robbery is asked to contact Navan Garda Station on (046) 9079930 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.
