onny’s and that little shop sitting pretty beside it plus Vick’s and Escape were hit by burglars in the wee-wee hours of Monday morning.

For James and Victoria, the owners of the new business moving into what was Mooch, they began their clean-up of broken glass at 4am.

“We’d been planning a soft opening this week,” says Victoria, “but we may have to delay that for a few days now…”

A keg out on the street suggests the goods being targeted by the criminals.

We reached out to Sonny’s, Vick’s and Escape to see if these fecks actually got away with anything, and they tell us the break-in happened at 12.45am. Vick’s just had the till with today’s float and a can of coke taken.

“They got nothing from us,” says Jason, Sonny’s manager. “Just a broken night’s sleep…”

As for Escape, “Must have been a little fecker, given the size of the hole in the door. And they got nothing but an empty till…”

According to cad about town Dermott Hackett, who happened up on the Garda investigation around 6.15am this morning, there was something of a crime spree across Wicklow.

“According to those investigating, lots of businesses in Newtown were badly hit,” says Hackett. “Times are hard enough without scumbags hitting low blows like this…”

Gardaí have CCTV footage of the two suspects, with the identity of at least one of the culprits said to be known.
