Gardaí based in County Kildare are investigating an early morning burglary which occurred at a café.

Details of the incident were read out by Garda Marc Connolly during a recent guest appearance on KFM.

He explained that the burglary occurred on Thursday, March 19 last in Castledermot.

According to Gda Connolly, local gardaí were alerted to a break-in at the Mad Hatter Café and when they arrived, they discovered that the front door to the business was damaged.

However, it turned out that no cash was stolen from the premises, as there was no cash kept inside of it overnight.

Gda Connolly also revealed that while the perpetrators concealed their identities, they do believe that the perpetrators are male and that they fled the scene of the crime in an Audi Saloon vehicle.

He concluded by urging anyone with information relating to the break-in to contact Castledermot Garda Station on 059 914 4112.

When asked by the Leinster Leader about this incident, a garda spokesperson replied: "Gardaí are investigating an alleged incident of burglary to a business premises in Castledermot, County Kildare that occurred on Thursday, March 19 last, shortly before 6am."

The spokesperson added that the investigation remains ongoing.
