Kilrush Gardaí are investigating two bizarre criminal damage incidents that have taken place in recent days.

In the first case, a property was entered through damaging the front door and a fire was lit in the garden. This took place along Church Road in Kilkee on Friday, August 15 at 10pm.

Just two days later on August 17, a similar incident occurred on Grattan Street in the town. Throughout the course of this offence, a home was entered and a small fire was also lit early on Sunday morning at 6:50am.

A spokesperson for An Garda Síochána in the county appealed to the public: "Did you see anyone in the area that was unusual to you? If so, please contact Kilrush Garda Station on 0659080550."
