Gardaí at Carrick on Suir are investigating the incident, which occurred in the early hours of this morning at a licensed firearms dealership in Cregg, Carrick on Suir, Co. Tipperary.
According to Gardaí, at approximately 1.30am four men were waiting outside the premises when the couple that owned the property returned home from a night out. At least one of the men lying in wait was armed with a gun.
The owners were taken into the house, which had two other occupants.
A Gardaí spokesman said: "An assortment of approximately 30 firearms was taken during the course of this burglary, including pistols and rifles."
