Car stolen from Mayo garage recovered by gardaí 10 miles away

Gardaí in Mayo are investigating the theft of a car from a garage at Belclare, Westport.

A black Ford Mondeo saloon was stolen from the Gannon Garage and Car Sales at around 6 a.m. last Saturday morning.

It was discovered later that day in the car park of St. Patrick's Church, Louisburgh. . .10 miles away.

The vehicle was undamaged and returned to the garage.

But gardaí are continuing their investigations into the matter and believe it's likely that somebody may have seen a person parking the vehicle in the church grounds at Louisburgh.

An appeal has been issued to anybody with information to contact Westport Garda Station.
