Gardaí at Wicklow Garda Station are investigating a burglary incident that occurred shortly before 1am on Sunday 17th November 2024.

On the date in question, a car believed to be an Opel Vectra turned into a local supermarket at Redcross, Co. Wicklow and parked up at the side of the shop. One male suspect approached a shed at the back of the premises where he attempted to gain entry. He then returned to the car.

Shortly after, two suspects manage to enter the shop through a side door. The two suspects placed vapes and cigarettes into bags and baskets and a third suspect searches behind the counter. The third suspect left the shop, carrying these items. The two other suspects follow shortly carrying more items in a black bin bag. The three suspects returned again and gained access to an office. They spent time in the office and left after placing some more items in a black bag. The three suspects returned to the car and left the scene, in what Gardaí believe to be the direction of the M11 Motorway.

The suspects were on the scene for approximately 20 minutes. There was a significant amount of cigarettes, vapes and cash taken during the course of this burglary.
