After removing the tools from the van,  the thieves jumped back into the car which sped off at high speed in the direction of Herbertstown.

"The only description that we have of the thieves is that they were all wearing balaclavas and gloves. The only description that we have of their car is that it was a black car," stated Garda Finnerty.
