Residents in Thurles are being urged to remain vigilant and ensure all vehicles are locked and parked in secure areas, following a spate of thefts on the west side of the town over the weekend.
It is understood that the thieves targeted several cars during the early hours, in particular checking vehicles for access. In at least one incident, the contents of a car boot were emptied, with expensive items reportedly stolen.
The suspects are alleged to have been operating as a pair shortly before 2:00am on the morning in question.
Local residents are now being asked to check their CCTV for suspicious activity and are warned not to leave valuables in vehicles and to report any suspicious activity immediately to Gardaí.
Gardaí are reminding motorists in particular to:
► Always lock vehicles, even when parked outside their homes.
► Remove valuables and expensive equipment from cars.
► Park vehicles in well-lit or secure locations where possible.
► Stay alert to unusual activity in residential areas late at night.
Anyone with information over last weekend is asked to contact An Garda Síochána at Thurles Garda Station on 0504 251.
