Crime warning

Kilcullen gardai have issued a warning to homeowners in the town following a recent burglary in which a number of electrical items were stolen from an occupied house.

Sgt Eddie Relihan says this should serve as a warning to all householders that unattended exterior doors and windows should be kept locked at all times against 'opportunistic' thieves always on the lookout for easy targets.

Kilcullen has also got a new garda, Brian Kearny, who lives in the town. Kilcullen is now served by three gardai and a sergeant.
