Vigilance called for in North Longford

There have been a number of 'daylight robberies' recently in the North Longford area and people need to be vigilant, according to John Duffy, Fine Gael local election candidate.

"A number of premises and yards have been robbed while their owners have been away," said Mr Duffy. "People need to up their guard and keep an eye out for any suspicious activity in the area. It's absolutely deplorable that these thieves have become so bare-faced. If anybody knows anything about these robberies or if they suspect that any goods offered for sale might be stolen they should contact the gardai immediately."

Mr Duffy pointed that tools and equipment seem to be the focus of these robberies.
