Group stole purse and handbag in supermarket sweep

A joint criminal enterprise saw four men pull up in an Audi outside one Kinsale supermarket to steal a purse from a trolley and pull up outside another where they snatched a handbag.

Detective Garda Kevin Heffernan said all four men were seen on CCTV getting out of the Audi and entering the supermarket separately. They walked around until one of them had stolen something from a trolley. Once that was done, they all left in less than a minute and drove away together. No purchase was made by any of them, said Det Garda Heffernan.
