Thieves target ticket takings

A CARLOW GAA employee was robbed at gunpoint by thieves targeting monies from the sale of Leinster championship tickets.

The woman, who works for the county board, was followed last Tuesday after she left Dr Cullen Park where thousands of tickets had been on sale for the county’s provincial semi-final against Wexford.

After getting out at her neighbour’s house in Ricketstown to collect her children, two masked gunmen carrying sawn-off shotguns got out of a silver blue BMW yelling “where’s the money? Where’s the money?”
