Gym equipment stolen from Armagh school

Detectives in County Armagh are investigating a robbery at a school in the area last week.

Sometime between February 15 and 2pm yesterday afternoon, thieves forced open the fire doors of the gymnasium at St Patrick's Grammar School in the Cathedral Road area of Armagh and stole a quantity of gym equipment.

The robbers also stole an amount of gaelic football kit, including nine gaelic football under armour tops with the school crest on them and six green and red gaelic football shirts with the numbers two, four, five, seven, eight and nine on the back, along with the school crest.

The school team has reached the semi-finals of the McCrory cup, which is due to be played within the next two weeks and the team are keen to have their kit returned before then.

Anyone who may have witnessed the robbery, or who may have any information in connection with it, are asked to contact police on 0845 600 8000, or anonymously on the Crimestoppers number on 0800 555 11.
