Burglars raid Buncrana pharmacy 23.04.07

An estimated €7,000 worth of goods have been stolen in a raid at a Buncrana pharmacy.
The burglary took place in the early hours of Friday at Tierney's Chemist on St. Oran's Road.
Gardai have confirmed that while the medicine dispensary was undisturbed, the thieves made off with a number of sale items including digital cameras and memory cards as well as two laptop computers used by the business. The loss is estimated at between €6,000 to €7,000. The business was closed and the scene sealed off for several hours for a Garda forensic examination.
"The incident was reported to us at 8am on Friday. We would like to hear from anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the vicinity of St. Oran's Road or Mill Brae on Thursday night or the early hours of Friday," said a Garda spokesperson.
It's understood the raiders gained access to the building - the former Clubman Omega shirt factory - through a corrugated iron roof.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Gardai in Buncrana on 9361555.
