Kilkenny Hotel Raids Investigated
Gardaí are investigating separate raids at two Kilkenny hotels, which took place in the early hours of Monday morning.
The first incident happened at the Springhill Court Hotel on the Waterford Road around 2:30am.
Three men confronted the night porter and forced him to hand over a sum of cash from the office safe.
They then tied the man up and left the scene in what was described as a blue SUV.
The second incident happened at the Lyrath House Hotel on the Carlow Road about half an hour later.
In this incident, two men, who were believed to be armed with knives, confronted the night porter and removed the safe from the hotel. They are reported to have fled the scene in an SUV, which was either silver, or blue in colour.
Gardaí are also investigating the discovery of a 1993 Dublin-registered blue Mitsubishi Pajero, which was found a short distance from the Lyrath Hotel. It is being preserved for technical examination.
Anyone with any information about either incident is asked to contact Gardaí on: 056 7775000.
