Date Published: 30-Mar-2011

There's been an attempted raid on a post office outside Tuam.

A driver in a white van tried to ram his way through the front of Barnaderg Post office between 7 and 8 am in an effort to get into the building. 

Gardaí believe the safe may have been the target of the raid, however the suspect was unsucessful.

The driver of the van then sped off in the direction of Ballinasloe.

The van caused a significant amount of damage to the Post office but no one was injured in the incident.
