The incident was highlighted by Garda Brian Carroll of Newbridge Garda Station, who appeared on KFM earlier today (April 30).
According to Gda Carroll, CCTV footage seen by An Garda Síochána (AGS) showed a group of men breaking into the Bord na Móna premises located in Kilberry, Athy, sometime between 12am and 4.30pm on April 24 last.
The perpetrators fled the scene in two separate cars shortly after illegally removing some copper wire from the premises.
