Well done to the Gardai in Ashbourne.
In the early hours of yesterday morning Ashbourne Gardai received a call of a youth breaking into cars in one of the estates. They responded and caught the youth hiding in one of the cars. He was arrested and taken to Ashbourne Garda Station where he was interviewed and later charged to appear before a special sitting of the District Court. Gardai went back to the estate and checked to see if there were any more cars broken into and they couldn't believe what they came upon. In one street alone 15 cars and vans were left open for anyone to look into. A few of these were tradesmen vans full of tools who are lucky that the tools are still there today. There might be a lockdown but thieves are still on the look out so please lock your cars and vans and do not leave valuables on display in them.
