A West Clare resident sustained minor injuries in what has been described as a distressing ordeal at their home.
Two men arrived at the door of a house at Coore just after 9pm last Wednesday and the resident opened the door to them.
The men didn’t enter the home, but managed to take a sum of cash from the resident and subsequently fled the scene in their vehicle.
Clare’s Crime Prevention Officer, Sergeant Catriona Holohan, who’s based at the Crime Prevention Unit in Ennis says “this was a distressing experience from the homeowner.
“We are appealing to anyone that was in the Coore area, between Miltown Malbay and The Hand to think back to last Wednesday night.
“Did you see a vehicle in the area, do you have CCTV or Dash-Camera on your vehicle.
“If you have any information, please contact Milltown Garda Station on 065 708 4222”.
