Gardai were today hunting a masked and armed gang which made off with around €10,000 during a raid on Nenagh golf club in Co Tipperary.
The gang of four masked men, who were armed with pickaxe handles and a screwdriver, confronted a member of staff and his family at about 11.40pm at Nenagh Golf Club in Co Tipperary.
They threatened the man, his partner and a 12-year-old child before forcing him to open a safe.
Gardai said one of the raiders spoke with a Dublin accent.
