South Mayo householders are put on alert after break-ins

HOUSEHOLDERS in south Mayo have been put on alert following a number of break-ins to homes in rural communities.

Complaints have been made to An Garda Siochana following burglaries in Ballyglass and other parishes.

It is understood two people, a male and female, are involved in carrying out the robberies. The female pulls up outside a dwelling in her car to 'case' the property before the man returns a short time later to break-in.

Some information in regard to the vehicle has been furnished to the gardaí and an investigation is ongoing.

In the meantime, house owners who see anybody acting suspiciously close to their homes should contact their local garda station immediately.
