Call for help from motorists after glasson supermarket breakin



Passing motorists or anyone travelling along the N55 near Glasson in the early hours of yesterday (Tuesday) are being urged to contact local Gardai.


It follows a break-in at Spollen’s Supermarket when Gardai believe three males entered the rear of the building in the village around 2am, and proceeded to take a small amount of cash from the premises.


It’s unclear at this stage how the culprits left the scene, and Gardai are appealing to anyone travelling in the area who noticed any suspicious activity in the vicinity of the busy shop and filling station, or strange vehicles parked nearby to contact them as soon as possible.


It’s thought the trio forced a door at the back of the building to enter the building and attempted to disable an alarm, however, it’s believed they may not have been fully successful and it was triggered a short time later forcing them to flee the scene.


Anyone who can assist the investigation is asked to call Athlone Garda Station 090 6498550 of Glasson Garda Station 090 6485102.
