A regional co-ordinated Garda investigation is reportedly underway, amid a spate of 'ram-raids' of shops across the country.
The Irish Independent reports a crime gang has carried out around eight organised robberies, in Dublin, Westmeath, Wexford, Kildare, Meath, Roscommon and Galway.
The Three shop in Roscommon town was ram-raided in the early hours of Monday of this week with extensive damage caused to the front of the shop and a significant quantity of electronic goods stolen.
