Attempted burglary at Ballyshannon business

An attempted burglary took place at a business on Market Street, Ballyshannon, County Donegal, in the early hours of 29 May 2025, at about 1.25am. The case record describes the suspect as a man, while the DonegalLive article reports that three hooded men tried to force open the front door. The victim is a business, and no further details about its owner are given. DonegalLive first reported the incident on 3 June 2025, when Gardaí appealed for information and for anyone who travelled in Ballyshannon town between 1am and 1.30am, particularly with dash-cam footage, to come forward. No arrest or charge has been reported, so the latest development is that the investigation is ongoing.
