Mayo Peace Park visitor is victim of brazen thief

Gardaí in Castebar have issued an appeal after a visitor to the Mayo Peace Park in the town had a significant sum of money stolen from him.

It was snatched from a bag left down by a man while he was viewing the many memorials at the location last Saturday around 12 noon.

Both Euro and sterling notes were taken by a brazen thief in broad daylight in a wide open space.

Anybody who may have witnessed suspicious activity at the Lough Lannagh Road around the time in question is asked to contact Castlebar Garda Station.
