The
gang escaped empty handed and there were no reports of injuries but the staff
on site were said to be shaken by the incident.
CCTV
cameras captured images of a silver Ford Focus parked outside which was used as
a getaway car. It had its number plates covered.
"The
footage shows three young guys using what looks like a fireman's axe trying to
break through the entrance door, but when they failed they smashed through the
exit doors and ran to the office," said one staff member.
Staff
at a Lidl store in west Dublin were left shocked when three raiders smashed
their way into the building late last night in a robbery attempt.
Three
males, described as being in their late teens or early 20s, used a large axe
and hammers to smash the doors of the Lidl outlet in Whitestown at 11pm. They
then made their way to the office and broke into that.
But
when they found staff still on the premises they fled the shop empty handed.
A
clean-up operation was underway this morning and the broken glass panels could
be seen taped-up within the door frames.
Gardai
in Blanchardstown are investigating the attempted robbery.
