Cars broken into in Nenagh

A young man has been arrested and further inquiries are being carried out following several break-ins and thefts from cars in Nenagh earlier this week.

A local man has been charged with a house burglary and thefts from two cars in the Coill Fuinseoige estate, St Conlon's Road, in the early hours of Thursday morning last. He was arrested after gardaí received a report that a male had entered a house and stolen a mobile phone. The male suspect, aged 20, was detained at Nenagh Garda Station for questioning and later appeared before a court in Dublin.

Meanwhile gardaí are investigating three reported break-ins to cars at the Military Barracks, Summerhill, overnight between Saturday and Sunday last. The front passenger window of one vehicle was smashed while another was ransacked.

Three male motorists have been arrested on suspicion of drink driving in Nenagh in recent days at John's Lane, the Borrisokane Road and Gortlandroe. Gardaí responding to another incident on the Borrisokane Road last Friday arrested a male, whom they searched and found to be in possession of a number of tablets.

Also last weekend, the breaking of two windows at a business premises in Kenyon St overnight between Saturday and Sunday is being investigated by gardaí.
