It’s certainly Greystones’ most popular bank for a certain kind of customer.
The kind of customer who is only interested in withdrawals.
Having been the target of a robbery twice this year already – on September 21st and on the night before Paddy’s Day – the local Permanent TSB was once again hit last night.
And this time the thieves took the ATM out of the wall using oxy acetylene.
It’s reported that €100,000 was stolen in the raid, which took place at 4.20am.
A car used in the robbery was reportedly burnt out on the scene, with many of the windows in The Burnaby Pub across the road cracked from the heat. Of course, that might have been the blast’s work too.
We’ll let you know more as we find out the details – including any confirmation on the amount stolen – but it would appear Permanent TSB are going to have to reconsider their security.
