A ā€œCONSIDERABLE amount of cashā€ was stolen from one worker on the Childers Road in recent weeks, according to local GardaĆ­.

Sergeant Ber Leetch explained that a 30-year-old man stowed a rucksack containing a ā€œconsiderable amount of cashā€ in a shed when going to work and later returned to find ā€œover half the cash amountā€ gone.

Elsewhere, a cash sum was stolen from the jacket pocket of a sleeping woman in her 60s while she was receiving treatment at University Hospital Limerick.

ā€œKeep your cash, bankcards, and phone on your person at all times,ā€ Sergeant Leetch warned, ā€œcriminals are everywhere and always looking for a chance to steal from usā€.
