More than €4,000 which were stolen in a well planned robbery from the sacristy of Ibrag church have been returned.

The money was returned to a priest during confession. He handed the cash to the Archbishop without identifying who had given them to him.

The money is to be handed to the Mission Fund, for whom it had been collected.

The cash was stolen when a safe was cut open earlier this week.
