Gardaí are appealing for information after a cash-in-transit (CIT) robbery in Dublin on Saturday.

The two men entered the CIT van and removed a safe using an angle grinder before leaving the scene in a silver car.

The car, a silver Ford Focus, was later found burnt our at Dunree Park in Coolock.

Gardaí are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident, particularly motorists with dashcam footage from the Orwell Shopping Centre/Orwell Road area at the time of the robbery, to come forward.
