Gate stolen in Mooretown

It seems that gates are no longer seen as an impediment to some thieves, but have actually become targets, writes Brian Byrne.

Kilcullen Community Text Alert reports the theft of a galvanised mesh gate last evening at Mooretown on the Athy Road. It was locked and the bolts were removed from the pillar in the operation.

Anyone with knowledge of suspicious activity in the area is asked to contact Kilcullen Garda Station.

This incident follows a house being burgled and ransacked in the nearby townland of Thomastown yesterday morning.

The Kilcullen Text Alert Scheme is operated in conjunction with An Garda, and all involved help to prevent crime by being aware of suspicious activity in the area, and also by keeping an eye out for vulnerable neighbours.
