Police believe that a large red and white truck was used in the raid with possibly a dark car and small white panel van and occupants also involved.
The truck was loaded from within Gormans Metal Ltd with the truck parked in the business park next to it and was fairly quiet due to Sunday trading and most premises being shut at that time.
