Break-in at XL
The XL Shop and filling station was the subject of a break-in in the early hours of Sunday morning and a quantity of cigarettes were taken.
The raiders cut the phone wires before breaking in, apparently in an attempt to disable the alarm. They gained entry by smashing out a toughened glass panel in the main door.
They had gone by the time gardai arrived, but the Diary understands that a good likeness of one of the perpetrators has been acquired from the CCTV system.
It also seems that one of the raiders left his mobile phone, which could also prove important in solving the crime.
