Stolen items

Meanwhile in Co. Donegal, gardaí have made an appeal after an antique anvil was stolen from the Kincasslagh area.

The theft happened some time between January and October this year at The Pier, Kincasslagh, where the antique was taken from an unlocked shed at the location.

Gardaí said that the item is “very heavy” and would have required a number of people to lift it from the premises.

An Garda Síochána in Co. Donegal have encouraged all homeowners to “review their home security regularly”.

The public have been reminded of the following: Lock all doors and windows; Use an alarm even when in the house; Don’t keep large amounts of cash or jewellery in the house; and to ensure that the exterior of a home is well lit up.
