Gardaí have arrested and charged two men in their 20s and 30s following a burglary at a house in Castleconnell, Co Limerick on Wednesday, October 24, 2018.
At approximately 10am Gardaí received a report of two males acting suspiciously in Castleconnell and a further report of a burglary that had just occurred at a house in the area. A description of the men was circulated to Gardaí and two men were arrested a short time later.
Both men were detained at Mayorstone Park Garda Station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 and have since been charged. They are due to appear before Limerick City District Court this morning at 10:30am.
Speaking at Henry Street Garda Station today, Crime Prevention Officer Ber Leech said, “the winter phase of Operation Thor will be launching soon and there are a few tips to help keep your home more secure.
“Light up your home as best possible, use timer switches if you are heading out. Keep your house and car keys away from windows and doors. Put the alarm on, even when you are at home. Don’t keep large amounts of cash or jewellery at home if possible.
“Most importantly, look out for each other. You can’t beat good neighbours. If you notice anything suspicious, call the Gardaí immediately. This is exactly what happened here and as a result, we were able to arrest both suspects.”
