Gardaí in Celbridge are investigating a robbery that occurred at Buggy’s shop in Ardclough on the morning of January 4 at approximately 9:10 a.m.
It was carried out by members of the so-called 'Lucky Dip' gang.
Two suspects entered the shop wearing balaclavas and threatened the shop worker with a hammer.
They demanded cash and cigarettes, obtaining a small amount of cash before causing further damage by smashing a fridge glass as they exited the premises.
The suspects fled the scene and were picked up by a grey Audi A4.
Kfm understands that the Audi has since been siezed by Gardai.
The gang's ringleader is an 18-year-old from Ballyfermot.
