Gardaí in Inishowen are on the hunt for a valuable cross which thieves took from a church last week.
The Bronze Celtic Cross was stolen from St Finian’s Church of Ireland building in Greencastle on Thursday night or Friday morning.
The burglars broke into the building by forcing open the door into the vestry at the rear of the building. The break-in was discovered on Friday by two members of the congregation.
As Gardaí investigate the unsettling incident, they are appealing for the public’s assistance in locating the stolen cross.
