Gardaí target burglars
TWO men were arrested on Friday last as part of an operation to target burglary and car theft in the Limerick area.

A mugging at knifepoint was reported last Wednesday when a young man was confronted by two men at Castle Street at 7.50pm and demanded that he hand over his belongings. The two suspects escaped with a small amount of property. Two men in their early 20’s were arrested a short time later and a knife was recovered. One of them has been charged with robbery and is currently before the courts.
