Gardaí believe gang to blame for robberies

GARDAÍ are searching for a gang who carried out a ram-raid on a toy factory and robbed a construction firm, hardware shop, tool hire business and carpet store.

Gardaí believe all five robberies, which happened in the early hours of yesterday, were the work of the same gang.

CCTV footage recovered by detectives appears to show the same car, a black Ford Focus, being used in the robberies which happened in Ballymakeera, Kilnamartyra, Macroom, Kanturk and Newmarket.
