Police in Ireland investigating money-laundering have arrested seven people and seized cash they believe could have come from a massive bank robbery in Northern Ireland blamed on Irish Republican Army (IRA) guerillas.

"During the course of the arrests, a quantity of cash was seized," the police service added in a statement.

A spokesman for the police in the British-ruled province of Northern Ireland said they were investigating whether any of the cash had come from the Belfast heist.
