Cars targeted in square

A run of breakins to cars in the market square has prompted the local Garda to issue a warning for owners to be more careful about security.

CCTV recordings are being examined of the latest incidents, which happened Friday when two cars were the targets of thieves.

It seems that the perpetrators are going around in high-visibility jackets so that they appear to be workers on the nearby building site.

The Diary understands that cars belonging to the workers have been targeted a number of times in recent weeks. Cameras and other small valuables are believed to be the main attraction to the thieves.
