Gardaí in Birr are appealing for information relating to a machete raid in Crinkle on New Year's Day. CCTV footage and door to door enquiries carried out by Gardaí have so far yielded nothing according to Birr's Sergeant John Mahon.
The incident took place on New Year's Day at approximately 8.30pm. According to Sgt Mahon a male raider in his 20s entered Geraghty's Crinkle Stores brandishing a machete. The raider has been described as having a slim build and a local accent and stands at approximately 5'10". There was just one lady in her 40s in the shop at the time. The till was open and the raider escaped with cash from the same till, but after a quiet day in the shop the total stolen amounted to approximately just €120. The raider left on foot, and it's unknown what direction his escape took him in.
Any information regarding the incident is welcomed at Birr Garda Station, which can be reached on 057 9169710.
