Three masked men entered the storeroom at around 10:40 p.m. They tied up the lone security guard on duty, then drove off with the four heads in a white van. The guard was eventually able to free himself, then raise the alarm.
Authorities believe that the thieves are part of an Irish gypsy network based in Rathkeale in County Limerick.
