Thousands stolen from Harvey Norman`s

Top-end GPS tracking systems, laptop computers, digital cameras and mobile telephones were stolen in the second high-tech burglary to occur in Mullingar in just a month.

In the early hours of Monday morning last, burglars broke the windows of the Harvey Norman store at Lakepoint Retail Park, making off with thousands of pounds worth of valuable equipment. Just a month ago, there was a similar "smash and grab" robbery at one of Mullingar`s most well-known businesses, Weir`s Pharmacy on the Market Square, which saw its window smashed and thousands of euro worth of camera equipment stolen. A technical investigation of the scene has been carried out by the Garda Crime Scene Investigation Unit and detectives at Mullingar are appealing for anyone with information on this crime to contact Mullingar Garda Station on 044-9348915.
