Jewellery was stolen from a house in Letterkenny during a break-in and burglary

The burglary occurred in the area of Sprackburn Drive on Friday, February 20 between 3:30pm and 8:30pm.

The rear door of the house was forced open and damage was also caused to a rear window. Entry was gained and some jewellery was stolen, namely six gold rings, a silver ring and a gold bracelet with the initials ‘Mmc’ on it. 

“We appeal to anyone who may have observed any type of suspicious activity, vehicles or people in that area between those times, to contact Gardaí in Letterkenny on 074-9167100,” said Garda Sean Sweeney. “Should anyone have any relevant information in relation to this incident, we ask them to contact us at the Garda Station or via the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.”
