The Hugo Boss’ shop on Grafton Street was rammed in the early hours of the morning by thieves who made off with an unknown quantity of clothing.

Gardaí arrived at the scene at the St Stephen's Green end of the street just after 4.30am. Extensive damage can be witnessed to the storefront and the search has begun for those responsible for the criminal damage and burglary.

No arrests have yet been made but a car is believed to have been used to ram the building, whereby a number of clothing items were then taken.

Gardaí have been investigating the scene since the early hours of the morning.

A representative from Boss at the scene told RTÉ that staff are not yet allowed to access the shop as it remains a crime scene and an ongoing investigation is taking place to determine what goods were stolen.
