Garda warning over building site break-ins

Gardaí in the Nenagh district have reported an increase in incidents where building sites are targeted by thieves.

Copper cable was stolen from a site at Tyone, Nenagh, some time between Saturday and Monday last. It is understood that another building site in the same area was broken into the previous week. Gardaí are asking construction workers to be mindful of site security where valuable material is stored.

There was another home burglary reported in Roscrea on Tuesday of last week, this time at Ballystanley. Three individuals reportedly tried to gain access to the house at around 3pm. Gardaí are appealing for witness information.

Witnesses are also sought over a break-in to a car parked at Abbey St, Nenagh, last Sunday. It is believed that the vehicle was broken into some time between 9am and 3.30pm while the injured party was at work. A number of items were stolen.

A car was stolen at Scart, Roscrea, last Thursday night. It was subsequently recovered a short distance away.

Gardaí responded to a disturbance at Ballyvillane, Nenagh, at 1pm last Thursday. A male was arrested at the scene and inquiries are ongoing.

Another man was arrested under the Public Order Act after gardaí attended the scene of a disturbance in the town at Silver St in the early hours of Sunday morning. A file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions in this matter.
