Anyone with information on the robbery is urged to come forward.

Gardaí in Donegal are appealing for information following a significant cash and jewellery theft in Letterkenny on Saturday.

Four women and a man entered a business premises on Upper Main Street in Letterkenny around 4.30pm on 18 January.

Once inside, a number of the individuals distracted staff, while one of the women gained entry to a back office and stole a quantity of goods.

Among the items stolen were nine 18 carat gold rings, two 9 carat gold rings, an antique sovereign case along with a matching chain, a rare antique round vesta (matches) case, a rare antique rose gold plain locket set with old cut diamonds, and a rare 9 carat antique rose gold ‘paper link’ 30″ chain, and six antique bar brooches.

Those who entered the property are believed to have all arrived and left together in a blue Ford S-Max (pictured below).

Gardaí are looking to track the movements of this vehicle and believe it may have also driven through Derry and Dublin.

Anyone who may have seen a vehicle matching this description acting suspiciously in their locality is asked to make contact with Gardaí in Letterkenny on (074) 9167100, contact the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
