A childhood friend of cartel boss Daniel Kinahan remained in garda custody tonight after he and a teenage relative were arrested over a €20,000 cash-in-transit robbery.
During the robbery a security staff member was collecting a cash box from a retail premises on Thomas Street in Dublin at around 12.45pm on Tuesday of last week.
As he was returning to a security van he was approached and threatened by a lone man armed with a hammer.
This man took a cash box from the security man before fleeing the scene on a bicycle.
No one was physically harmed in the raid and none of the cash has been recovered.
