GARDAÍ are investigating a theft in Letterkenny.
The incident occurred at Upper Main Street on Thursday, June 25 between approximately 5.55am and 6.15am.
A van that was parked at that location was entered between those times and a black Samsung mobile phone was stolen from the glove box. No damage was caused.
“We appeal to anyone who may have travelled along Main Street, Letterkenny between 5.30am and 6.30am on that date with a dash-cam, to make the footage available to us,” said a garda spokesperson.
“Any relevant information should be passed on to Gardaí in Letterkenny on 074-9167100.”
Gardaí have issued advice to the public as the theft is one of several recent incidents involving parked vehicles.
“We advise all car and van owners to always ensure that their vehicle is secure and locked when left unattended,” said the garda spokesperson.
“Please do not leave valuables such as electronics, cash or jewellery in your vehicle. Do not make life easy for opportunist thieves.
“We also advise everybody to take note of your phone’s 15 digit mobile phone International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number and keep it somewhere safe in case you lose your phone or in case it is ever stolen. By pressing *#06# on your phone keypad the IMEI will appear on the screen. This information will help us to return the phone in a timely manner if located.”
