Dramatic CCTV footage has emerged of the terrifying moment that a car appears to smash through the front door of a Mayo business in the early hours of last Tuesday morning, causing "significant damage" to the premises.
An Garda Siochana have launched an investigation into the incident, which involved a car reversing through the front door of a business premises in the Ballinrobe area of Co Mayo, prior to a reported burglary which took place shortly before 2.30am on Tuesday, April 11.
The 26-second clip from the business's CCTV shows the car slamming into the front door, triggering the alarm. The car then reverses into the door a second time and, on that occasion, it gives way and the car gains access into the premises, which Galway Beo reports is a well-known local takeaway.
