The incident happened in Dublin early this morning.
Gardaí are investigating after a man was held up at gunpoint by another man dressed as a woman in the Rathgar area of Dublin early on Sunday morning.
A 44-year-old businessman was attempting to lodge money at a bank deposit box in the city when he was approached by a man wearing women’s clothing and holding a handgun.
A large sum of money was taken and two thieves then drove away in the direction of Terenure.
A silver Hyundai i40 used in the robbery had a taxi sign on the roof and was displaying false registration plates numbered 12-CE-1549. It was found in Harold’s Cross on Sunday morning.
Gardaí are calling for witnesses and want anyone who may have passed the ATM machine on Terenure Road East between 4.30 am and 4.45 am to come forward.
