Appeal Launched Over Aggravated Burglary In Louth
Gardaí in Dundalk are appealing for the public’s assistance in relation to an aggravated burglary which occurred at a property at Ath Leathan, Racecourse Road, Dundalk, yesterday morning.
The occupants awoke to find that five masked men had entered the house sometime before 8am. Two of these men were armed with what appeared to be handguns.
A couple in their 30's, along with their three children, all under four years of age, a woman in her 40's and two teenagers were in the house at the time.
An amount of cash was taken and the men made their escape on foot.
It is believed they had driven to the house and had parked a distance away, completing their journey on foot.
The man, 36, received non life threatening injuries and was taken to Our Lady of Lourdes Drogheda for treatment.
No arrests have been made to date and investigations are continuing with an incident room set up in Dundalk.
