Thefts from cars in Nenagh

Gardaí are investigating several thefts from cars reported locally over the last two weeks.

Five incidents occurred in the town of Nenagh, while another one was reported in Killaloe. Several items were stolen from the cars. It is understood that a number of the vehicles were unlocked at the time. Gardaí are appealing to people to not leave valuable items in unattended vehicles and to always ensure your vehicle is locked, as opportunistic thieves are on the lookout.

A theft of power tools from a container at Lisboney, Nenagh, is also under investigation. This incident took place overnight between January 1 and 2. Gardaí are appealing for witness information.

Members of the Divisional Drugs Unit stopped a suspicious male at Townparks, Roscrea, last Thursday. Cannabis valued at €920 was seized along with other suspected illegal drugs, subject to analysis. A file on the matter is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Also in Roscrea, a woman walking her two dogs on the bypass reported that her pets were attacked by another dog last Friday. Her dogs had to be treated by a vet for the injuries they sustained. Gardaí are reminding all dog owners of their responsibilities.

Meanwhile, a new superintendent took up duty in the district last week. Superintendent Liam McGraynor has moved from Tralee on promotion to Nenagh Garda Station with responsibility for the Clare East/Tipperary North Community Engagement Functional Area, Clare/Tipperary Garda Division. He replaces Superintendent Alan Cullen, who has transferred to Mayorstone Garda Station with responsibility for the Limerick Performance Assurance Functional Area, Limerick Garda Division.
