Appeal Follows Clare Aggravated Burglary
Gardai have this morning launched an appeal for witnesses into an aggravated burglary at a house in County Clare last night.
During the incident, which occurred in Ardkyle, Sixmilebridge, at 10.45pm on Thursday, a man armed with what is believed to have been a shotgun and wearing a balaclava entered a home of a woman in her 50s.
Also present in the house were the householder's two sons aged 14 and 10 years. The raider threatened the family and demanded cash. No cash was taken, however a laptop and two mobile phones were stolen during the incident. The raider made his escape on foot and is described as tall and well built. The scene is been preserved for technical examination which will be carried out today.
Gardai are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed anything suspicious between 10.00pm and midnight in the Ardkyle, Sixmilebridge area to contact them. The townland of Ardkyle is located just off the N18 on a side road off the main Sixmilebridge/Shannon road. Anyone with information in respect of this is asked to contact the Gardai at Shannon on 061 365900.
