Gardaí are investigating the theft of more than €220,000 in cash from a home in the Enniscorthy area in Wexford on Monday evening.
The burglary occurred at a property where a well-known sportsperson lives on Monday evening. It is understood the cash was stolen from a safe inside the property and is believed to be the life-savings of the couple who were targeted.
The thieves, believed to be a Dublin based crime gang gained entry to the house by breaking the glass in a rear door of the house. The property was ransacked and the large quantity of cash stolen shortly after the owners left the house.
