SHAMEFUL: Donation boxes stolen from Carlow churches

Gardai are investigating after two thefts from churches in Co. Carlow yesterday morning. 

Donation boxes were taken from a church in Ballon and a second church in Rathoe between approximately 8am and 9.30am. 

The churches were both open at the time of the thefts. 

Each box is said to contain a sum of cash and Carlow Gardai are appealing for anyone with information to contact them.
