White van recovered in Mayo garda probe into attempted burglary

Gardaí in Castlebar have recovered a white van used in an attempted burglary at a business premises in the town earlier this week.

The vehicle had been stolen from a location in Tuam some hours earlier.

Investigations into the matter are ongoing after efforts to steal €17,000 of products from McHale Agri, Forest & Garden were foiled.

The business reported on their social media that in the break-in, their Echo stand containing a substantial range of chainsaws, hedge trimmers, strimmers and leaf blowers were taken.

However, due to 'outstanding service' provided by Kieran Lavelle of Right Price Alarms and a rapid response by the gardaí at Castlebar station, the attempted burglary was prevented.
