Burglary at Dooradoyle, Co. Limerick on the 16/3/20

Gardaí at Roxboro Road Garda Station are investigating a burglary that occurred at a Centra in Dooradoyle, Co. Limerick on Monday 16th March 2020 at approximately 11pm.

A grey VW Passat car drove into the carpark and reversed towards to the front of the shop. Three masked men got out and smashed a glass panal of the front door to gain access to the shop. Once inside the three suspects ransacked a number of offices in the shop. They gained access to the cigarette cabinet and used a bin to take the cigarettes.

They gained access to another office and removed a large cabinet containing an amount of money. They placed the cabinet into the boot of the car but were unable to close it, leaving it partially sticking out.

The three suspects got back into the front of the car and fled. The car was recovered on fire at the Castletroy view estate a short time later.

Appeal: 

• The car used was stolen during a burglary in Castleconnell on the 3 January. The registration number of the car is 131-LK-2091. The car was fitted with a cloned registration number plate, partial registration number (11L17).
