Gardaí appeal for witnesses after Mayo shop burglary

Gardaí in Mayo are appealing for witnesses following a burglary at a shop in Foxford in the early hours of this morning (Monday, August 25).

Motorists who were in the area between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. and who may have dash-cam or other camera footage are also being asked to come forward.
