€200k worth of stolen spirits destined for festive market

GARDAÍ believe that €200,000 worth of spirits stolen from a Co Cork warehouse are likely to be sold on the Christmas drinks market.

Up to 15 pallets of spirits, which included bottles of Smirnoff vodka and Paddy, Jameson and Powers whiskey, were stolen from the Classic Drinks company in Little Island.

Details of the raid emerged yesterday when gardaí made an appeal for the public’s help in tracking down the perpetrators.
