Charity back on road after robbery

The lorry, being used by Chernobyl Children International (CCI), was parked in Hebron Industrial Estate, Kilkenny, waiting to be serviced when the attack took place. Thousands of euro worth of toys, clothes and shoes, bound for needy children in Chernobyl, were damaged beyond repair, and upwards of 10,000 nappies were taken.

A man in his 20s was arrested and charged after the incident, and is due to appear in court next month.
