A large amount of cash was taken following a robbery in Lidl in Thomastown last night.
Around 9 o clock as staff were preparing to close, 2 men wearing balaclavas, one of them with a firearm broke in a stole the cash and escaped across the car park and in to a waiting blue Land rover Discovery jeep.
The jeep with the registration 06 CW 325 was later abandoned in Paulstown.
It’s believed to have been stolen a week earlier in Blessington in Co Wicklow.
Gardai are appealing for anyone in the area at the time between 8 and 9 last night and anyone in Paulstown who may have seen the jeep to get in contact on 056 7754150.
