Garda David Prendergast of Naas Garda Station discussed the incident when he appeared as a guest on a KFM radio programme on Wednesday, May 14 last.
He explained that an item was stolen from a vehicle which was parked in Johnstown on Tuesday, May 13 last.
Gda Prendergast specified that the crime took place sometime between 12am and 8am in the The Green region of Johnstown Manor.
He also revealed the exact item which was stolen: the car's radio.
