Gardaí launch hunt for two thieves behind brazen shop raid in the Midlands

These are the faces of two suspects gardaí are looking to speak to over the audacious theft of almost €1,500 worth of goods stole during a raid from a shop in Longford town.

Detectives have released the images of both male suspects in a bid for the public's help to help identify the pair.

The incident, which took place at a discount store on November 3 last year, resulted in the theft of approximately €1,448 of items.

The pair entered the store at approximately 4:30pm and swiftly made their way up a detergents isle before beginning to place a number of items into a trolley.

CCTV footage of the incident captured both suspects covering the trolley with a blanket before passing all points of payment with the stolen items.

Gardaí have described the first suspect as being 6ft in height with black or brown hair, while wearing a black jacket with dark grey sleeves, light grey pants and black Nike runners.

The second suspect is described as approximately 5’10 with brown hair. He was wearing a black hooded jacket, navy Nike pants and black runners.
