Gardaí are investigating the circumstances behind a bizarre shoplifting incident in Longford which saw an estimated €700 worth of honey jars being taken from a local grocery store.
A hunt is on for a shoplifting gang who boldly walked into a Longford town based supermarket and stole several hundred euros worth of honey.
An estimated €700 worth of items were taken by a number of individuals from Longford's SuperValu store at town's Hazelwood Shopping Centre last Friday (March 1), gardaí have confirmed.
The incident, which occurred between 4pm and 4:30pm, saw approximately 23 jars valued at €30 each being taken as a result of the raid.
CCTV footage is currently being analysed by detectives in the hope of tracking down those involved.
Separately, gardaí are following a definite line of inquiry into a break in at a business premises in Ballymahon over the weekend.
Around €2,000 worth of footwear was reported stolen from a firm located on the Mostrim Road between 11pm and 1pm on March 2 and March 3.
It's believed access to the property was gained via a rear window.
Gardaí have, however, revealed most, if not all, the items taken in the incident were recovered sometime afterwards.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Longford Garda Station at (043) 3350570.
