Thirty guns stolen from firearms dealer in Tipperary

Gardaí are investigating the theft of up to 30 guns from a licensed firearms dealership in Co Tipperary early this morning.

The owners of the dealership in the Cregg area of Carrick-on-Suir returned home from a night to find four men waiting outside the premises.

At least one of the men was carrying a firearm.

The couple were taken into the house and the gang proceeded to steal an assortment of guns, including pistols and rifles, before fleeing in the family car.

No shots were fired during the robbery and nobody was injured.

The Gardaí say they are particularly keen to locate the stolen car, a beige or champagne-coloured Honda Civic Saloon with the registration 03 WX 5048.
