An incident at the home of Edenderry's Seamus Farrell took place on July 11th.
Angry and terrified - that's how an Offaly farmer felt after using a legally owned shotgun to scare four masked raiders from his property earlier this month.
The incident happened in the early hours of July 11th, at the home of Edenderry's Seamus Farrell when he was awoken by his house sensors.
He has been the victim of a number of previous robberies, including a €8,000 bike that belonged to his son which he later got back.
Gardai are yet to make an arrest over the incident.
Mr Farrell says it's left him and his family shaken:
