Callous Raiders Drown Two Dogs In Tipperary Burglary.

On Saturday evening last, (February 11th, 2023), a house, located in the Castleview estate area of Ardfinnan, in South Tipperary, (close to the border with Waterford), was targeted in a burglary.

The home owner on returning home found two dogs; latter protecting the house, drowned in a barrel of water in the back yard of their dwelling.
Having killed the animals, the thugs escaped with an amount of cash and valuables, valued at some €9,000, having completely ransacked the house.
Nobody was at home in the house at the time of the callous incident.

Investigating Gardaí believe the burglars gained access to the house, using a key which was hidden in a shed.

No arrests, as yet, have been made, and investigations are continuing.
