Break-ins in Kilcullen: warning

A number of daytime house break-ins have taken place in Kilcullen in recent days, writes Brian Byrne. There has also been a spate of thefts from vehicles.

Garda advice is for home-owners to always keep their houses secured and not to leave anything visible in cars that would encourage breaking in. If your home has an alarm, it should also be activated even if the house is only being left unattended for a short time.

The Diary understands that thieves 'from afar' are believed to be doing the rounds in the area. One report warns of a group of men in a car 'wearing balaclavas' in the area of a very recent break-in.

Gardai say that any activity that might raise concern should be reported. Kilcullen Garda Station number is 045 481212.
