Garda appeal following spate of burglaries

Gardaí are asking the public to be extra alert and careful at this time of the year after a spate of burglaries and attempted burglaries in the parish of Lorrha, spanning from Killeen to Portland in recent weeks.

Burglaries increase in the run up to Christmas and gardaí are also urging vehicle owners to be vigilant and not to leave money or bags in a vehicle that is unattended.

Make sure to lock away goods in the boot of the vehicle out of sight, and do remember to lock your car.
