Burglary – Muine Bheag, Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow

Gardai at Carlow Garda Station are investigating a burglary that occurred on Friday 29th September 2023 at Kilree Lane, Muine Bheag, Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow. On the date in question shortly after 8.20pm, an Audi Avant drove up and down Kilree Lane and then parked opposite a house there. Two male suspects exited the vehicle and walked behind the house before returning to the vehicle.  

The vehicle then departed the lane turning right onto Kilree Street.  The car returned a few minutes later, and again two suspects exit the vehicle and force open the front door of the house, using a 12mm tool. They both enter and search the premises. They leave shortly afterwards carrying a cash box and return to the Audi Avant car which drove away turning left out of Kilree Lane and onto the Tullow Road. It is next seen in the Seven Springs area off the Tullow Road Carlow at approximately 9.35pm.
