Burglars get stuck while trying to ram Avoca

Thieves who tried to ram the Avoca premises at Piercetown Dunboyne last night got stuck in the door!

Gardaí at Dunboyne are investigating an attempted burglary at the Avoca premises, which occurred last night at 10.55pm.

A black Toyota Landcruiser (bearing false 06 KE #### registration plates) and with four males on board was used to ram the front doors of the premises.

The vehicle became stuck for a period of time and eventually the four males managed to free the vehicle and escaped without anything being taken from the premises. The jeep was found on fire in a field at Ballymagillen, Dunboyne a short time later. The jeep was stolen on Kilbeggan on 7th October this year.

Anybody who was in these areas last night and who may have seen this vehicle or any other suspicious or unusual activity should contact Dunboyne Garda Station on 01-8252211 or the Garda confidential Line 1800-666-111.
