Carlow Gardaí appeal to vehicle owners following string of thefts

Sgt. Conor Egan is appealing to all vehicle owners in Carlow to ensure that their vehicles are locked and secured when unattended.

Egan stated '22% of all thefts from vehicles are at residential locations and 33% of vehicles broken into are unlocked at the time. 12am- 7am is when over half of these thefts occur.'

'Driveways are the most common place for these thefts. Jewellery; sunglasses, electronics, cash, sports equipment, and tools are the items most commonly stolen from vehicles.

Carlow Gardaí recommend the following tips to prevent theft:

  1. Wherever you park your car or van, take your property with you
  2. Ensure your vehicle is locked, alarmed and parked in a secure, well-lit location.
  3. Store your keys safely, away from windows and letterboxes
