Gardaí in Kilkenny are appealing for information

Gardaí are appealing for information after a recent incident that saw a car stolen in Kilkenny before being driven around Tipperary and Waterford - where it was subsequently crashed.

The car in question was a '152 LH Black Toyota Vitz'.

The owner discovered at 6.30pm last Saturday (January 11) that the car had been taken.

The car was fully locked up that day.

Gardaí in Kilkenny are following lines of enquiries and are aware the car was in the Cahir and Clonmel area before midnight and later in the Waterford area.

It may have travelled on the M9 beforehand (that runs though Carlow)

This car was found crashed in the Ballymacarbery area of Waterford the following afternoon.

While enquiries are advancing, gardaí would still like to know more about the movements of this car particularly when it was around the Kilkenny City area, most likely during the late afternoon/evening.
