Club gates rammed to gain access to clothes

AN eastern European gang is suspected of causing thousands of euro damage to a Cork GAA club while smashing into a neighbouring industrial estate and stealing secondhand clothes.

The gang used a van to ram the large entrance gates to St Vincent’s Hurling & Football Club.

A second gate, leading to the pitch area, was also rammed which enabled the raiders to drive into the rear of the industrial estate in Hollyhill where a clothes’ container had been left for collection.
