€30k of aluminium stolen

GARDAÍ believe that €30,000 worth of aluminium poles stolen from a marquee operator are likely to be sold for scrap.

The thieves also stole a lorry belonging to the businessman, driving it out of his compound and past an employee who thought they were a work crew who had legitimately taken the equipment out to a job.

Two men were seen in the white lorry, registration 96 LK 1608, at Leisure Domes Ltd at Buttevant, Co Cork, at 6.15am yesterday.
