Tipperary gardaí investigating car burning and theft of second vehicle in Newport

The gardaí in Tipperary are investigating a number of incidents that took place in Newport last Friday, including the burning of a stolen vehicle and theft of another vehicle.

A car was stolen in Limerick and driven to Newport in the early hours of the morning.

It was subsequently burned out in the Mulcaire Manor housing estate.

The keys of a second car were stolen from a house and this vehicle was used by the suspects to make good their escape.

This car has since been recovered in Limerick and is being technically examined.
