Gardaí in Letterkenny have issued a fresh appeal for information following a significant theft of jewellery and cash.
 
They have also released some images.

Four women and a man entered Mourne Antiques in Letterkenny at approximately 4.30pm on Saturday January 18, 2020.

Once inside the property, a number of the individuals distracted staff, while one woman gained entry to a back office and stole a quantity of goods.

The items stolen included cash and jewellery, among them was an 18 carat white gold oval yellow sapphire cluster ring.

Gardaí say those who entered the property are believed to have all arrived and left together in a blue Ford S-Max.
