Gardai are hunting a gang who stole a large quantity of equestrian equipment in the Cruit Island area of Co Donegal.
The gang broke into a locked container and stole a large quantity of showjumping equipment.
The equipment included 12ft poles, cups and show jumps.
Gardai say that at least one vehicle would have had to have been used to transport the stolen equipment.
Garda Grainne Doherty said the incident was only reported to them recently but may have taken place between April and the end of June.
She said the show jumping community was a small community and appealed to anybody who may have been offered this equipment for sale to contact Gardai.
She said “We are hopeful that people involved in the show jumping business may have come across items for sale in recent months on a second hand basis and if this is the case we would like to hear from them.
“Any relevant information should be passed to Milford Garda Station on 074-9153060 or to the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.”
