A member of staff from the Capitol Lounge across the street saw the break-in happening and alerted gardaí.
The thief took “some valuables, destroyed the till, smashed the glass and made a hell of a mess in the shop”.
“We had to stay in the premises for around 4 hours cleaning the mess he left behind after his little adventure. We got home around 1am, on one of our very few days off.
“We are grateful because nothing major happened, but we hate to see actions like this becoming something normal.”
