“We watched it back on the CCTV camera and in less than five minutes the whole thing was over, we couldn’t get over how quick it was”, Dermot said. “The alarm was going off, but they stayed very relaxed, it obviously wasn’t their first time doing this.”
In a statement released to the Irish Farmers Journal, the gardaí have confirmed that an investigation into the burglary is ongoing and that no arrests have been made.
