Gardaí in Kilkenny are appealing to the public for assistance after a number of houses were burgled and ransacked over the weekend.

A house was broken into at Drakelands, Kilkenny on Saturday, November 16 sometime before 8pm.  The house was broken into through a Velux window being forced.  The house was ransacked, with nothing of value stolen.

A second burglary occurred at Derdimus, Castleinch, Kilkenny between 2pm on Saturday and 8pm on Sunday (November 17). 

Entry gained again, through a Velux window and house was ransacked.  Nothing of value taken.

Gardaí are asking anyone in the area who saw anything suspicious or has dashcam footage that may be helpful to contact Kilkenny Garda Station in confidence.

"We would also remind people to lock up and light up at this time of year.  The darkness gives would be thieves greater opportunities to gain entry to houses.  Every precaution should be taken to dissuade thieves from entering your house," added a garda spokesperson.
