Gardai targeting criminal groups in South Kilkenny have arrested three people following a burglary.

It happened just before 2:00am this morning at a supermarket on Main Street in Mooncoin.

A woman in her 20s and two men – one in their 30s and another in their late teens – were arrested near the scene a short time later.

They’re being held at Kilkenny and Thomastown Garda stations, where they can be questioned for up to 24 hours.

A car involved in the burglary and a sum of cash that was taken have been recovered.
