A thief or thieves smashed their way into Ely’s Centra Store on Kickham Street, Thurles, early this morning.
The intruder /intruders used what is believed to be the cement base of an advertising sign to smash the plate glass pane on the front door.
The normally busy store, this morning, remains closed while Gardaí investigate the criminal activity, but it is expected to open within the next half hour.
Persons with any information regarding this break-in, are requested to contact Thurles Garda Station, Tel: 0504 25100; the Garda Confidential Telephone Line at 1800 666 111, or indeed any Garda Station.
If they are caught there is no real punishment.
Absolutely disgraceful. I hope they’ll be caught and punished severely.
I feel sorry for the Ely family who along with their staff are so generous to the people of Thurles and surrounding area.
