Letterkenny residents wake to thieves in balaclavas

 

Gardaí are investigating a burglary in the Hawthorn Heights area of Letterkenny. 
The incident happened on Friday evening last at around. 5.50pm.
The occupants of the house were asleep as they had been up late the previous night.
They awoke to voices in the hallway and discovered that there were 2 men in their house who were dressed in black and wearing balaclavas.
These men fled from the house upon being discovered. The occupants observed that there was a 3rd male outside of the house.
