VIGILANCE is being urged in the wake of an attempted theft and theft from two cars in Letterkenny.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses in connection with a couple of theft and attempted theft incidents that occurred at Listack, Letterkenny on Friday, March 20, between approximately 5.45pm and 6pm.
Two parked cars in the car park near Coravaddy Woods were broken into between those times.
Both cars were entered after a window on each was smashed. Nothing was stolen from one of the cars but a number of items were stolen from the other namely a greyblue cord bag containing perfume, a small navy cloth zip coin purse containing a bank card and cash, a makeup bag, a mobile phone, a black glasses case and glasses and a silver Sheaffer fountain pen with the initials ‘ED’ engraved on it. The pen holds a lot of sentimental value and we are particularly anxious to retrieve it for the owner. The stolen mobile phone was later found along the roadside.
Drivers are being urged to always ensure that their car is locked when unattended.
“Please do not leave valuables such as cash or jewellery in your car and always report suspicious activity you see around parked cars to gardaí immediately,”said a garda spokesperson.
Anyone who was in the area at the time in question and who has dash cam is asked to share the footage with gardai.
