Three men are being sought following the theft of computer equipment believed to be worth thousands of euro from a warehouse on the outskirts of Cork city.

The raid happened between 3am and 5am this morning at a warehouse operated by a courier company in Glanmire.

Four staff members were tied up during the raid and although uninjured, they are said to be extremely shocked.

Gardaí cannot say at this stage if the raiders were armed.

The men may have spent more than half an hour at the warehouse, removing a valuable consignment of computer equipment before making their getaway.

The value of the haul is currently being assessed and will not be available until later in the day.

The raiders escaped in two vehicles, a two-tone gold and red Isuzu Trooper registration number 89-C-17846 and a white Scania rigid truck registration number 98-D-73143.

Gardaí in Cobh are appealing for the public's assistance in tracing these vehicles, or to anybody who may have witnesses suspicious activity in the area this morning.
