Thurles Information

Incident Room Set Up At Thurles Garda Station To Investigate Recent Credit Card Fraud.

An incident room has been established in Thurles Garda Station, Thurles, Co. Tipperary and a senior investigating officer has been appointed, following a number of reports from retailers of people buying building and agricultural materials in stores around Ireland, using fraudulent credit cards.

Reports from store retailers claim that once transactions are authorised, using the fraudulent credit cards, consumers leave the premises with their purchased goods, before the retailer discovers later that the card details provided are fraudulent.

The incidents of customers using fraudulent credit cards are understood to be happening not just in Co. Tipperary, but also in the neighbouring counties of Clare, Limerick, Offaly, Laois, Kildare, Cork, Waterford, Clare and Limerick, and also in counties Leitrim, Westmeath, Monaghan, Kerry, Meath and Wexford.

In recent days (April 17th last) we reported that a father and son team, operating a vehicle with false number plates, had been arrested. See report HERE.

Gardaí in Tipperary are now asking any potential victims, at any other locations, who have not yet contacted An Garda Síochána in relation to such issues, to please contact Thurles Garda Station – Tel: 0504 25100, the Garda Confidential Line – Tel: 1800 666 111, or indeed any Garda Station, so that such matters can be fully investigated.

Warning: Thurles Road Hazards.

Motorists and the drivers of long high sided vehicles are being asked to drive with extreme caution coming up to the Nenagh Road Roundabout.
During the course of last night or early this morning, someone or rather something collided with a motorway, directional, road signs on the R498 roundabout, leading onto the Jimmy Doyle Road or back into Thurles Town.

one section of the sign, for the past 10 hours at least has remained swinging over the inner lane of the roundabout, and persons failing to operate proper diligence could lose their wind-scream and/or severely damage vehicle bodywork.

Road Craters

Meanwhile, vehicles travelling south on the N62 Section of Brittas Road, Thurles, and the junction of Brittas Road and Cuchulain Road, (travelling both westward and sothward); please note expect to encounter giant road craters.

**Brittas Road, outside Veterinary Clinic.**

Someone joked with me the other day that to get a pothole filled in Thurles town, local councillors are insisting that local residents apply for planning permission to Tipperary Co. Council; hence the long delays.
