Irish gangsters have staged the biggest cash robbery in the history of the Republic, stealing up to €7 million from the Bank of Ireland in Dublin's College Green early today. The Garda Siochana said an armed gang took the family of a Bank of Ireland worker hostage at their County Kildare home on Thursday night... Security sources in the Republic today told the Guardian that the chief suspect in the robbery was a career criminal in his early 60s based in north County Dublin. He is out on bail on other charges.

GARDAÍ INVESTIGATING the theft of €7.6 million from a Bank of Ireland vault believed last night they had recovered a large portion of the cash in the Dublin suburbs of Phibsboro and Blanchardstown. The operation was ongoing last night but gardaí said they were confident the recovered money, believed to be several million euro, represented a portion of yesterday's robbery. Six men and one woman have been arrested. They are members of a well-known gang from Dublin's north inner city and are connected to a major Dublin gangland figure.
