Gardaí Hunt Guinness
Thieves have started their festive celebrations early with news that the Gardaí are today investigating the disappearance of 450 kegs from the Guinness Brewery on Victoria Quay in Dublin.
The police are hunting for 180 kegs of Guinness, 180 kegs of Budweiser and 90 kegs of Carlsberg which were taken in the robbery.
A truck driver pulled into the brewery yard and stole a trailer containing the drink, which has an estimated value of €64,000.
The robbery occurred the same day as a special Gardaí operation known as Freeflow was launched to ease traffic congestion and combat drink-driving over Christmas.
Freeflow officers manning many checkpoints across the city are expected now also to be on the look out for any large quantity of stolen drink flowing through Dublin's traffic.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Kevin Street Garda Station on 01 6669400.
