Gardai have launched a public appeal for information following a late night burglary at an agri supply business in the Midlands.
Several thousands of euros worth of damage were caused in the raid at a premises along the Lanesboro road on the outskirts of Ballymahon shortly before midnight.
A large quantity of industrial gardening equipment were stolen, but later recovered in nearby fields following a search carried out by gardai shortly after the alarm was raised.
Gardai believe the botched heist was carried out by an organised crime gang who may have been disturbed by a garda patrol car, causing them to flee the scene.
