Coffee machines, blenders and other high-fi equipment were stolen earlier this week.
A midlands Christmas market is set to re open today after it was burgled earlier this week.
On Tuesday morning, three men broke into the underground car park at Laois County Council buildings in Portlaoise where Market was being held.
Items stolen included coffee machines, blenders and other high-fi equipment with an estimated cost of 2 thousand euro, though the true amount is now expected to be much higher.
The market was closed in the two days that followed the burglary, but is reopening to the public today.
Chairperson of Laois Taste, the co-organisers of the event, Brian Brennan, says everyone was in shock:
