Gardai investigating burglaries in County Limerick
A number of items were stolen, including an amount of cash from a property in Pallasgreen
GARDAI are investigating two burglaries, one at a residential home in County Limerick and another in a vacant property.
Garda Eoin Kelly, Community Policing, Mayorstone Garda Station commented:
“A male in his 70s reported that while he was away from his home in the Pallasgreen area of the county, for just a couple of hours between 9am and 12pm on the 5th of August last week, the property was broken into. A number of items were stolen, including an amount of cash.”
Gardai attached to Bruff Garda Station are investigating the incident.
Gardai in Bruff are also investigating a burglary at a long term vacant home in the Kilfinane area of the county wherein copper items were taken.
Garda Kelly added: “It is believed it may have occurred over the weekend of the 7th to the 9th of August however gardai are seeking any persons who may have witnessed suspicious behaviour at the property over the last number of weeks.
Garda Kelly concluded that the key things for homeowners is to make your home look occupied.
“Ask a trusted neighbour or family member to keep an eye on the property, park in the driveway if possible, and remove post or deliveries from the front door.
“Use timer switches on lights, avoid posting holiday updates on social media until you return home. As you said, we are coming into the last couple of weeks before the schools return however this advice is for all year round.”
