Tens of thousands of euro worth of TVs and electrical equipment has been stolen following a break-in at a Harvey Norman store in Cork.

The break-in took place sometime between 11:30pm last night and 2:30am this morning. It happened at the shop on the Kinsale Road in Ballycurreen on the south side of the city.

Gardai are appealing to anyone who may have noticed anything suspicious in the Kinsale Road area in the early hours of this morning to contact them.

They are investigating whether the break-in may be linked to a similar burglary at the Harvey Norman shop in Little Island last October when €60,000 worth of TVs were stolen.
