Garda probe after Gortahork house pelted with eggs

A group of young boys are being sought after pelting a house in west Donegal with eggs at the weekend.

Gardaí are appealing for information in relation to an incident of criminal damage that occurred at Ardsbeg, Gortahork on Saturday, March 8.

The incident occurred shortly before 10.30pm.

Eggs were thrown at the roof and the windows of the house. The perpetrators are said to be three boys aged approximately 14.

A Garda spokesperson said: “If anybody observed these boys on foot in the area, we ask them to make contact with Gardaí in Milford on 074-9153060.

“If anyone travelled in the area around that time with a dash-cam, we ask them to make the footage available to us.”

This is the latest such incident in County Donegal this month.

Last week, Gardai issued an appeal for information after eggs, flour and other food stuff were thrown at the front door of a property at Giblin, Clonmany run the early hours of March 1.
