A €20,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the recovery of a stolen shipping container packed with 5 tons of LEGO and schoolbooks intended for children in Malawi.

The container and its contents, valued at more than €50,000, were stolen from outside a house in Clonaslee, Co. Laois, one year ago (March 2025). 

 

Despite the time that has passed, the search continues. Fresh information has renewed determination to recover the stolen goods. Evin Joyce, Director of Ulemu.com, the Irish charity that was filling the container, said: “From day one, we knew this container couldn’t just vanish. We’ve received new information, which has been passed to An Garda Síochána. I hope this reward will come to the attention of people with key information to help us get it back.” 

 

The €20,000 reward has been put forward by Cathal O’Connor who is also the leading donor to the charity. Cathal’s family business, O’Connors Cabins, donated the stolen container to the charity in 2021. “The container and its contents are worth more than €50,000. It’s a pity that it’s necessary but if this reward money gets the Lego and school books to the children they were donated to, it will be well spent.” said O’Connor.
