THERE was a break in at the Riverdale Hotel, Ballybay on Thursday last 17 April in which a quantity of cash and cigarettes were stolen.
Gardaí have confirmed that intruders entered the hotel at approximately 2:30am. A cigarette machine was stolen and the drawer of a cash register, along with a small amount of cash was taken.
Gardaí have also confirmed that they are wishing to speak to a number of young men in their teens or early 20s in relation to the incident. Manager of the Riverdale Hotel, Kieran McQuaid confirmed for the Monaghan Post that they have images of the thieves on a CCTV camera.
“They got in through a fire escape,” Mr McQuaid confirmed. “There was one window broken and also an interior door.”
He also expressed his disappointment that such an incident would take place. “I work hard to earn a living and I’ve now lost the equivalent to a couple of weeks’ wages.”
Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have any information on the incident to contact them.
Nice writing style. I will come back to read more posts from you.
