Two men have been charged and are due before the courts in connection with a suspected theft in a rural part of Co. Tipperary earlier this month.
On Friday, October 14, gardaí in Cahir responded to a report of a burglary in the Fethard area during which an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and farming equipment were stolen.
Gardaí launched an investigation into the incident and subsequently carried out several searches in the wider south Tipperary region.
During those operations, officers arrested two men, one aged in his 20s and the other in his late teens, on Wednesday.
According to gardaí, the stolen quad was also recovered at one of the locations.
The men were brought to Clonmel Garda Station where they were detained for questioning.
Gardaí confirmed that the men have now been charged and are due to appear in court in Clonmel in mid-November in relation to the incident.
