Gardai in Wexford are looking for the public's help after a robbery at a Wexford Amusement Centre.

The raid is believed to have been well planned.

It's thought €70,000, mainly in coins, was stolen with close to €300,000 worth of damage done to the Courtown based amusement centre.

No arrests have yet been made in connection with the robbery.

Unfortunately for locals, after cutting the alarm system, the thieves also left residents in the area without internet access for a number of days.
