Disgraceful: Four thugs beat up farmer leaving him badly beaten and tied up during a robbery at his home




Gardai in Co Offaly are appealing for witnesses in connection to a beating that farmer received last night at his home.

Four men charged into the man’s farmhouse at Glasderrybeg, Brosna, near Birr at around 2am. They beat the man, aged in his 50s and lives alone, and then threw him into a shed and tied him up.

Thankfully he managed to escape and raise the alarm. He’s said to still be in hospital being treated for shock and non-life threatening injuries.

The thugs who beat the man made off with a small amount of money and are on the run.

Gardai have asked anyone with information to contact Birr Garda Station immediately on 057-9169710 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800-6-661-11.
