Over 15,000 bottles of whiskey stolen in Irish daylight raid
Dublin (AFP) - Police in Ireland are hunting a criminal gang that escaped with more than 15,000 bottles of whiskey and gin in an audacious daylight heist.
Armed with iron bars, the gang loaded the alcohol into two forty-foot (12 metre) trucks after tying up the employees at a warehouse on the outskirts of Dublin, police said Monday.
A total of 15,480 bottles of Jameson Whiskey were taken in the raid on the afternoon of November 14.
•Whiskey is the Irish water of life
An unknown number of six-bottle cases of Bombay Sapphire gin and six-bottle cases of Jack Daniel's whiskey were also stolen.
"Two employees were working at warehouse when two men entered the building armed with iron bars," police said in a statement issued on Monday.
"They forced the employees to open the loading bay. At least three more men arrived and the employees were tied up."
Police believe the alcohol will be offered for sale on the black market in the run up to Christmas.
The retail value of the alcohol is said to be hundreds of thousands of euros.
Morning news break – December 2
NB. Owners of bars and taverns in S.A. are advised to steer clear of the stolen stash,should it somehow find it's way to your neighbourhood. :woohoo:

Cheers guys and it's whisky not whiskey ( unless you are American) Jameson is a big seller for us and the Irish whisky is a close 3rd behind Bells and J B ( scotch whisky) in popularity.
I will be contacting the authorities if offered a case back door.

He is just teasing. It will always be, as always has, Irish WHISKEY with an "e". (True: American Whiskey but Canadian whisky)
