Two takeaways located within 100 metres of each other in Co Longford were broken into yesterday – costing the owners around €1,500 through damage or theft.
The Village Inn and Tasty Kebab and Pizza, on Main Street, Lanesboro, were both targeted in the early hours of the morning.
Gardai say investigations are ongoing into both incidents.
Donnie has run the Village Inn for over a decade, and this is the first time it has been burgled.
Our reporter Eoghan Murphy visited the takeaway yesterday evening and spoke to Donnie.
Tasty Kebab and Pizza was broken into around the same time, and owner Rifaqat Hussain believes both were carried out by the same person.
Eoghan Murphy also spoke to him in his takeaway yesterday.
