A gang of masked men armed with iron bars and a sledgehammer stole thousands of euro from a petrol station in Navan in Co Meath last night.
Staff at the Statoil station on the Proudstown Road were locking up when a silver car with four men pulled in just after 11 p.m. Staff were threatened into opening the safe and an estimated €30,000 was stolen.
No one was injured in the raid.
