The Hamburglar remains the primary suspect.

Irish police have launched an investigation into the burglary of a McDonalds in Castletroy, Limerick.

The incident, which involved a JCB digger took place at 2.50am on Tuesday, 20 March. The teleporter damaged the outlet’s main entrance, but according to police, nothing was stolen.

The above imaged was taken by Daithi O’Brien at approximately 7.12am, however, the digger has since been removed for examination.

It’s not the first digger related looting, as a Lidl was completely destroyed only two weeks ago in what is now, officially, a spree. (Unofficially).

Lidl, to their credit, reacted sympathetically to the news.

Investigations are ongoing and the Hamburglar’s current whereabouts are unknown.
