Carlow gardaí investigating theft of valuable tools from a van

Gardaí in Carlow are investigating following the theft of tools from a van, in what appears to have been an organised crime in which the van door lock was drilled.

The van, a white Renault Trafic, was parked in Graigue na hAbhainn around 11.45pm on Friday, February 10 when two men in dark clothing were spotted removing items from the van.

The lock in the rear door had been drilled to gain access. An orange coloured Stihl consaw, a De Walt multi tool, a De Walt cordless radio and a De Walt angle grinder were taken from the van.

The men then fled in a dark coloured car. Gardaí are appealing for anyone with dash cam footage of the incident to contact Carlow Garda Station.
